Treat yourself to 24/7 pancakes

Why not use your Brisbane layover to grab some dim sum at the hatted Little Valley, or indulge in the casual fare at one of Brisbane’s newest breweries, Soapbox Beer.

Get back to nature with a stroll through the Roma Street Parkland

Only a short walk from Roma Street Station and you’ll find yourself amongst 16 hectares of jaw-dropping natural beauty. The Roma Street Parkland boasts playgrounds, barbecues, a range of picturesque picnic spots and a packed calendar of events.
