Most holidays to Brisbane include a transfer from the airport to your hotel, and once in the city centre, exploring is simple on foot, as most of the main attractions are located close together.
Hiring a car or a motor home is highly recommended in Brisbane in order to travel around the area to see the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, and this is best arranged prior to travel.
As far as public transport goes, Brisbane has a good network of buses that serve the city centre and surrounding areas, and you can buy daily tickets to save money on getting around.
