Step into Brisbane City Hall and get ready for a time-travel adventure that doesn’t require a DeLorean. This grand old dame of civic pride stands as proudly in the city’s heart, hosting the city's most illustrious cultural, social, and civic shindigs since its grand unveiling in 1930.

With architecture that might make you think, “They sure don’t make 'em like this anymore,” Brisbane City Hall is a testament to style, substance, and the occasional ghost story. The Main Auditorium is where the magic happens, boasting an organ so massive, it’s like the Sydney Opera House decided to go on a road trip. And if the walls could talk, they’d whisper tales of history, heroism, and that one time the Queen dropped by for tea.

Best time/season to visit:
This architectural behemoth is always ready for visitors, rain or shine. But if you want to catch Brisbane wearing its Sunday best, aim for March to May. The weather’s as perfect as a cold beer on a hot day, and the view from the Clock Tower is clear.
