Looking for instagrammable places in Brisbane? 

No matter why you are in Brisbane: traveling, studying, or working, I got you covered for the best photography spots that are well-known and also some hidden gems.

Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and is also a special place for me as I studied and worked there for 5 years. The weather is not as extreme as in Melbourne (sorry Melbourne friends, Miss Qing is a Malaysian teacher who can’t stand the cold!) and the population is not as dense as in Sydney.

Brisbane has so many instagrammable places that are aesthetic and picturesque.

The views along the Brisbane river, the old sandstone buildings, and modern high risers under the expansive sky. When new meets old, it creates a spark in the eye of the wanderer.

4. South Bank Parklands

South Bank Parklands is strategically located along the meandering Brisbane River, with a size of 17 hectares! Brisbane River is like the heartbeat of Brisbane. A lot of the instagrammable places in Brisbane offer you different vantage points of the river.

South Bank Parklands features a wide range of facilities, including playgrounds, barbeque, and picnic areas, walking tracks, and more. I used to jog along Clem Jones Promenade a lot since I was just living in South Bank, Brisbane. Oh, bring me back!

Find out the different ways to experience this amazing parkland here. It has something to offer whether you are a solo traveler or traveling with friends and family. 

Make sure you take photos of the Arbour, South Bank’s bougainvillea archway! It is such a striking Brisbane instagram spot that is vibrant and delightful to see. It makes my heart bloom when I am taking a romantic walk under the pink bougainvillea.

Streets Beach is a beach located at South Bank that is a must-visit for Brisbane instagram spots! 

Can you believe it is Australia’s one and only man-made beach RIGHT IN THE CITY? Honestly, I was so amazed when I first visited in 2014. 

When you see the white sand, blue water, and green palm trees, you will really feel like you are at a real beach! 

There are also two water play areas next to the Streets Beach – Boat Pool and Aquativity so make sure you bring your swimmers and a change of clothes. P/S: it’s free!

6. Nepalese Peace Pagoda

Nepalese Peace Pagoda was originally brought to Brisbane for World Expo β€˜88. It was then moved to South Bank Parklands in 1992.

This instagram worthy place in Brisbane is the handcrafted work of 160 Nepalese families that took TWO LONG YEARS to build! Did you know that it is one of only three Nepalese peace pagodas that is located outside of Nepal in the world

The best time to get a shot at this instagrammable place in Brisbane is nighttime when the lights are on. It will be well-lit in yellow which makes the handcrafted timber design even more attractive.

Brisbane Sign is literally β€œinstagrammable Brisbane”! This is a must-see photography spot located at South Bank with views of the city and the river. You can easily see it sitting on a wide grassy area outside of Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

The colorful giant letters look great both during the day and at night. You can take the beautiful skyline as the backdrop in the daytime and take an illuminated shot during the night featuring the city of lights as your backdrop.

Fun fact: This sign was originally built temporarily in 2014 for the G20 Leaders’ Summit. Given its popularity among locals and tourists, it was then upgraded to a better version, becoming a permanent tourist attraction in Brisbane.

9. Queensland Cultural Centre

Queensland Cultural Centre is a leading art and cultural establishment located on South Bank. This includes the Queensland Art Gallery, Queensland Museum and Sciencentre, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, and the State Library of Queensland.

Each building’s architecture is definitely instagram worthy place in Brisbane. My personal favorite is the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) which exhibits outstanding art in a variety of media. You would not want to miss this feast for your eyes and soul. 

And if you would like some extra brain work while sightseeing the Queensland Cultural Centre, you could try solving clues through a trail titled β€œDiscover Brisbane – Cultural”.

10. Goodwill Bridge

This is hands down the most instagrammable place in Brisbane for me. I am quite biased as I hold lots of personal memories of this bridge.

Goodwill Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist bridge that connects the Queensland Maritime Museum at South Bank with the city’s QUT Gardens Point campus. It is less than 500 meters long that offers viewing decks and benches along the way too.

The best time to walk along this bridge would be at sunset and nighttime. The bright sun during day time can be quite glaring. The colors during sunset vary daily depending on the weather but the views of the river are truly calming and healing. 

If you like exploring places by your own pace, you can try this mobile scavenger hunt: Discover Brisbane – South Bank.

11. Story Bridge

Story Bridge is a famous Brisbane instagram spot that you must go to when visiting Brisbane. Unlike Goodwill Bridge, this bridge is open for vehicles and has 6 lanes of traffic. 

Did you know that this longest cantilever bridge in Australia is currently repainted every 7 years using 17500 liters of paint?

To have a closer look at this impressive bridge, you can go on The Story Bridge Adventure Climb walking up a steep incline to a top platform and across the width of the bridge. It is a magnificent way to see Brisbane city in a panoramic view. 

There are two options available:

  • Day Climb costs AUD 137.60 (USD 92.62) per person
  • Twilight Climb costs AUD169.60 (USD 114.16)  per person

So, do you feel adventurous enough to stand at the summit of 80 meters above sea level?

After the climb, you should also visit Howard Smith Wharves underneath Story Bridge on the side of Fortitude Valley. It is home to lots of instagrammable cafes and restaurants in Brisbane. 

Address: 

  • Google Map
  • You can get there either from the city side (Fortitude Valley) or the southern suburbs (Kangaroo Point).

12. Kurilpa Bridge

Kurilpa Bridge is the world’s first tensegrity cable stay bridge. This means that each pillar is supported by the cables (in tension) between pillars. Interestingly, the pillars do not even touch each other to keep the bridge stable and steady, that makes it one of the most instagrammable places in Brisbane

This pedestrian and cyclist footbridge connects South Brisbane to the Brisbane Central Business District. There are two viewing and relaxation platforms, two rest areas, and an all-weather canopy available at this instagrammable place in Brisbane. 

If you are want a different experience, you can check out this Brisbane Mini Segway Tour that provides you a fun ride to glide along Kurilpa Bridge.

Waterline Park is a lively recreational hub located under the Riverside Expressway, between 1 William Street and Mangrove Walk. Their 24/7 outdoor gym is definitely one of the most instagrammable places in Brisbane. Did I mention that it’s free?

After some active exercise, stroll along Mangrove Walk to soak in the river views as you cool down. It is approximately a 15-minute walk from Gardens Point, following the northern river bank’s mangroves to Queen’s Wharf.

QUT Gardens Point is strategically located in Brisbane City and is also easily accessible by foot from South Bank.

The different department buildings feature a combination of old sandstone buildings and modern structures. The Cube located here is worth taking a snap or two. There are different themes displayed on the Cube Screen daily at different times.

20. The University Of Queensland, St Lucia

The University Of Queensland (UQ) at St Lucia has a beautiful campus that makes it one of the most instagrammable places in Brisbane. 

This main campus of UQ covers 114 hectares of Brisbane River-bound land. The stunning sandstone buildings situated along lush greenery and still lakes make it so picturesque and breathtaking. 

Jacaranda Lane on the UQ campus is spectacularly striking during October, which also happens to be the exam season. 

When I was a university student in Brisbane, I hear a myth that claims: β€œIf a jacaranda flower falls on your head, you will fail your exam. That made me extra careful whenever I’m walking past a jacaranda tree, haha!

And some said the opposite: β€œIf you hit it, you will ace your exam.”

No matter the negative or positive one, I am grateful for stories like these that attach meaning to a tree, which also made my exam weeks more lively with conversations.

I personally enjoy walking along the Lovers’ Walk all the way up to the pier. If you are lucky, it is sometimes possible to sight small bay dolphins from the end of the pier!
