City Backpackers HQ Hotel Shuttles

A low-cost way to enjoy the heart of Brisbane, City Backpackers HQ offers all the convenience of downtown’s vast shopping district as well as idyllic riverside bike paths. Sleeping arrangements include shared dormitories with bunk beds and communal bathrooms, as well as private rooms with tropical themes and impressionist art. Look forward to modern amenities that include free Wifi and a sunny poolside lounge on the roof, also considering a few festive food options that include a trendy daytime cafe and pub-restaurant featuring local entertainment. The biggest perk of all is the hotel’s complimentary shuttles to Brisbane International Airport, while public transportation includes a variety of nine routes along Upper Roma Street. And of course, private vehicle rentals make things especially easy through intimate adventures, with meet-and-greet services offering the luxury of drop offs to busy areas via stretched limousines, taxis and local personal drivers.

Drop into the neighborhood’s best by taking advantage of various riverside landmarks that include local exhibits on law enforcement at the Queensland Police Museum as well as upscale name brand shops scattered throughout The Barracks Shopping Centre. For a taste of urban greenery, continue east toward the quaint Roma Street Parklands, whether it be the Lake Precinct on the north end or vast lookouts atop the Old Windmill Observatory in the south. Cross the majesty of the Brisbane River afterward by walking across the Go Between Toll Bridge, a historic landmark home to pedestrian paths that lead to the waterside works of the Gallery of Modern Art, as well as the famous Southbank Riverwalk - take this footpath in any direction to find downtown relics such as the State Library of Queensland and The Wheel of Brisbane. For dinner, continue west on Caxton Street, finding tasty eats at Darling & Co as well as famed late-night appetizers from The Paddington Tavern.
