Sights To See in Brisbane
Brisbane is one of the cities that I wish to visit in Australia. Being rated as the 16th most livable city in the world by The Economist in 2009, I believed spending a trip in this city is very interesting. Because of that I am already researching for its worthy to visit landmarks and also for cheap brisbane hotels for my accommodation.
Here are some of the top famous sights to see in Brisbane;
The City Hall of Brisbane
It is known as Brisbane’s finest. It is located near Kin George square and the home of Brisbane City Council. It was once the tallest building in Brisbane. Its imposing clock tower is 70 meters high. It was based on the design of the St Mark’s Campanile in Venice, Italy. That probably the reason why it looks very familiar to me because I had already seen its similar one in Venice.
I already visited the Cathedrals of St. Stephen in Vienna (Austria), Regensburg and Passau (Germany) and maybe in the future the one in Brisbane, Australia. I was amazed by the styles and architectures of these cathedrals that I visited before. For sure, the one in Brisbane is also a very interesting one. The cathedral was built between 1864 and 1922 and one of the cornerstones in the history of the Catholic community of Brisbane.
The Sphires of the This bridge is named for John Douglas Story, who was a prominent public servant of Queensland. The Story Bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Australia. It was designed by John Bradfield, the designer of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It spans more than 250 metres (820 ft) across the Brisbane River.
Remember these are only some of the sights that I wish to see in Brisbane. There are still a lot of things to see in this city from its museums to parks, historical architectures, city landmarks and other nearby attractions.
I still don’t have images from Brisbane. I am only sharing the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Regensburg, Germany. I had seen this cathedral many times.
