Introduction
The Brisbane River winds through the city, its lifeblood and leisure artery; the most relaxing way to tour is the iconic CityCat high-speed catamaran ferry. The ferry runs along the river between many stops—city center, South Bank, Kangaroo Point, New Farm and the University of Queensland—as public transport and sightseeing boat; with a tap of the card you enjoy the scenery on both banks—city skyline, Story Bridge, South Bank Parklands, riverside mansions and jacarandas passing by. A dusk boat ride watching the sunset and lights reflected on the river is especially charming. Touring the river banks at a very affordable fare is an easy way to feel Brisbane's city character.
