Brisbane is the capital of Queensland and with over two million people the third biggest city in the whole of Australia. It stands on the Brisbane River and has a subtropical climate, with highs in the summer of over 41°C. The humidity is high as well and unless you are well acclimatised to the heat it would be a good idea to leave your break in a Brisbane holiday rental until the winter months, when the temperatures are more comfortable.

This fits in well with all of the annual events for which the city is famous. Staying in a Brisbane city centre (center) apartment during the medieval fair and tournament, held in the Musgrave Park in July would be a lot of fun. The Film Festival would be good to dip into for your favourite genre and this is where a Brisbane short stay apartment would come into its own. All year round there are choirs, plays and fringe theatre to be found in here and a stay in one of Brisbane’s serviced apartments would be a very elegant holiday teamed with some tickets to some of the best performances in the hemisphere.

Sport is very popular in Brisbane and Rugby League is particularly so, with the Brisbane Broncos sharing the amazing stadium with Rugby Union and soccer teams as well. There will always be some sport to tempt you from your Brisbane serviced residence, no matter what time of year you visit. If you are sporty – as opposed to just watching sport – you will find your Brisbane holiday let ideal for reaching out into the bush for some walking or climbing on the Story Bridge Adventure Climb or at Kangaroo Point cliffs.

Although it is a big city, Brisbane is surrounded by bush on the landward side and so it is easy to access even from an aparthotel in the centre. With so many things to see and do, Brisbane is a city that merits a long stay and the serviced flats and self-catered apartments available will make that stay very comfortable. Possibly because of the extreme heat of the summer, the shops are usually part of a mall, which can be air conditioned. The Queen Street Mall is probably the biggest and most central and has a huge range of shops and also restaurants, cafes and bars.

A final word on Brisbane has to introduce its affectionate nickname – Brisvegas. There are some fine casinos in the city and an evening or two spent there will certainly make for a holiday to remember.
