Introducing the Brisbane app Ever found yourself stuck for an idea on where to eat, what to do or how to keep the kids entertained? If the answer is yes, then the new Brisbane app is for you. The Brisbane app is a free, must-have tool for everything you need to know about Brisbane. Discover hidden bars, new restaurants and out-of-the-way cafes, find the latest events happening across the city or follow go-to-guides curated by some of Brisbane’s well-known faces. You can even set up a personal guide, tick off your own bucket list of eats, treats and events or plan your own family adventure through our popular parks, playgrounds and lookouts. Thousands of Brisbane businesses are featured on the app. You can show them your support by downloading the app and being a tourist in your own town. You can even like or follow your favourite neighbourhood businesses. Head to brisbaneapp.com.au or visit your device’s app store and search ‘Brisbane’ to download the app.
