Destination Profile
Move over Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane is on the block. Yep, the capital of Queensland is now an enthralling stopover on the east coast of Oz. It's become a lively mix of bohemian neighborhoods and well-to-do districts, concealing roastery coffee outlets and farm-to-table eateries. It's got a gorgeous climate that brings balmy days and sunshine for much of the year. And it sits within striking distance of the fabled Sunshine Coast – think endless beaches of gold sand and azure water with some of the finest surfing on the globe! Cheap flights to Brisbane from USA leave regularly from West Coast hubs like LA and SFO, but you can also score bargain tickets out of East Coast cities, Chicago, Dallas, and beyond.
