👌. Bris Vegas is growing up. So much to do and see and all in a smaller welcoming city.
It really is. Thanks for watching John :)
I came to Brisbane from sunny England to live for 4 months, back in 2018. I've never felt so homesick about a place that isn't home.
I'm so happy to hear you fell in love with our little city! It sounds like you may need to move here one day :)
I’ve grown up in inner city Brisbane and I now in my teenage years I feel like the city is growing with me. It’s incredible ❤️ Will always love this place
We feel so lucky to call Brisbane home too Odetta! Thanks for watching!
Wow! thanks for the great trip around some of my fav haunts and for helping me discovering some new ones
So glad you enjoyed it and discovered some new things to do. We love Brisbane too.Thanks for watching!
I know exactly what you mean by splurging on a fantastic dinner and champagne to celebrate the start of a new chapter. I did that with my wife when I left my old job, and we are so happy now and still remember the wonderful dinner we had together that night. Great video guys !
It’s an amazing feeling huh! Made me realise how important it is to celebrate moments like those 😊❤️
I love this wholesome comment
I love Brisbane , been there many times before .Wish I can go back there soon .
Oh good! I hope you can go back again soon :) Have a good day x
A beautiful river, with plenty of amazing spots to explore all the way up the Brisbane Valley.
I definitely agree with you! I moved to Brisbane from country Victoria in 2013. Best decision. The city, community vibe and weather literally helps with mental health soooo much. Once the new north shore precinct is finished you should definitely do a video on it! Has some promising things in store I’m sure! Just subscribed today and I love your content!! 💕💕
Oh, that makes me so happy to hear you love it up here! Brisbane has grown and changed so much since I was a kid but I love that it's still got that small city feel to it. It's such a great place to live! Whenever we travel we talk about living abroad but, honestly, I don't think I could. I just love it here so much :D Thanks for subscribing and for the love - we appreciate the support SO MUCH! Especially at the moment :) P x
Fascinating ! I can not wait to come and taste the Brisbane .
Thank you!
Love Brisbane. Modern yet calm and beautiful city ❤
We do too ❤️ I heard someone call it a ‘slow city’ the other day... I love that description. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful tour, thanks for sharing, one of my big cities.
Our pleasure! Thanks again Marion!
Wow! 😯 I love it! ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
I miss Brisbane, was a backpacker in 2010/11 and left just before it flooded for Sydney. The city had a nice feel about it, the CBD was manageable by foot, yet big enough. Brissy was going through a construction boom when I visited, many skyscrapers and apartments being constructed. The urban sprawl is huge compared to European cities though. The state of Queensland is stunning with rainforest and mountains inland, amazing beaches and small towns North of Brissy, like Airlie, Hervey Bay and Noosa . Never visited the Gold Coast, by-passed it for Byron. I was travelling down the East coast where I eventually ended up in Melbourne for work, another nice yet big city, the climate was not sub tropical like Brissy.
What a great comment!!! Thank you for sharing so much ❤️
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Several years ago I was very lucky to stay in Brisbane with a friend from my school years. It is the most beautiful, exciting place I have ever had the pleasure to visit. I enjoyed every minute of my stay. I recommend it highly. If you are a resident how wonderful for you because I wish I was!
I'm so happy to hear you loved it here so much :) We looooove living in Brisbane, it's an amazing place to live.
I wish i can live in Brisbane i am so in love with Australia and brisbane🥺
Brisbane and Australia would be lucky to have you!!! 😊🙌🏻
Little Grey Box
Awww i am so happy and i like Australia 🇦🇺 so much🥺
Loves from 🇰🇼
Love living in this beautiful city.
You and Matt are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Brisbane seems so “chill” for a major city. This was such a great video , can’t wait to see more from you both 🙂👍🏻
Haha it really is very chill! I think that’s what I love about it the most (that and the great, warm weather)! We’re definitely very lucky to live somewhere so amazing. Thanks for watching 🥰
YASSSS Brisbane is the best!! Love our Hometown, thanks for making this awesome vid! Proud 😍 😍
Me too :) We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, huh. Thanks for the lovely comment, sweetheart xxx
Thanks for the beautiful story.. 👍
You’re very welcome, thank you for watching!
I lived in West End for 10 years and now in Sunnybank QLD. I have never heard of the helicopter ride but it’s what I am going to look up ASAP! Thank you for reminding me how beautiful my hometown is and all it has to offer. What a beautiful site and experience to be able to see Brisbane from up top. Fabulous 👌❤️
That's a great video you guys!
I have visited Brisbane a couple of times but only for work trip so haven't been able to explore it nicely. But this video inspires me to do so.
Thanks so much Akashi! So happy it inspired you. That’s the best we could hope for. Thanks for sharing and watching :)
Hi Guys, visited Brisbane in Nov 2018 whilst staying on the Gold Coast - Thanks for the video - can't wait to re visit!
Hello!! I hope you had a great time when you visited 😍
@@travelforphoebe Love the views from Mt Coot tha -
Beautiful💖🌸💚💗
Thanks for watching :)
Million thanks for a beautiful video clip...b blessed
🥰🙌🏻
Just wanted to say thanks for the video! I’m from the UK and visiting in about 5 weeks’ time - this vlog has given me some fantastic tips! 👌🏼
Oh wow 😍😍 thanks so much Kelly! Means the world!!
Great look at our city.
Thanks so much! Have a great weekend!
A beautiful trip indeed making all dreams come true, with the chopper ride...
You got that right!
Hey I just stumbled upon your channel. Great stuff! Love my home town of Brisbane, I miss it heaps! Currently living in Switzerland, hope you guys make it over here, cheers!
Hi!! Thank you so much for the lovely message 😊 hopefully, it gave you a good dose of home to keep you going while you’re away!! Have the best time in Switzerland 😊 Phoebe x
Moving to brisbane 14 years ago, definitely seeing so many changes in that time. Spending time in most of the cities in Australia, definitely up there as 1 of the best cities in Australia
We love it too Suj. Thanks for watching !
Thank you for making such a fantastic vlog, you both are are so great at it. How beautiful is Brissy, especially Southbank X
Thank you so much, Toni!! It's absolutely beautiful, right?! I can't believe how much Brisbane has changed over the years :) (P.S thank you for comments sticking up for me with that other guy - he made another dumb comment so I blocked him! Idiot!). Have a great week ahead - Phoebe xxx
@@travelforphoebe your very welcome, his attitude was crappy, I can’t stand men who act like that. It’s a treat being on here and creeps like him don’t belong. Good on you! Your vlogs are brilliant love seeing Aussie again. Xx
I can’t stand it either. Thanks again for support and kindness 😍♥️
SouthBank Brisbane is why I do my Sony Alpha Brisbane Group photowalks while people learn photography. 😃
It’s the perfect spot for that isn’t it Brett. Thanks for watching!
What a great city to explore (if we do say so ourselves)!
The best city in the best state in the best country in the world 😍🐨❤️
Very nice
Excellent video! Planning on a return after 40 years! You've presented your city beautifully!! I'm looking forward to seeing it again!! Cheers!!
Thank you so much, Celia! I have a feeling you'll be pleasantly surprised by how Brisbane has grown and changed over the years.
Love the westend and south Brisbane area
I love South Brisbane too, thanks for watching Brent!
Southbank in Brisbane is very nice and relaxing 😌 😎
Thanks for watching :)
Nothing like a local making a video of their home city :-)
Thank you so much for watching :D have a great day - Phoebe x
Apart from amazing photography and crisp editing.. I like your superb presentation.. Brisbane is definitely a beautiful city 👍
Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment - so glad you enjoyed the video :) Phoebe x
Great content folks. Im sold on Brisbane. Moving there for the lifestyle and the warm weather. 😁
Haha Yess! That makes me so happy. Brisbane is so liveable and you’ve got some of the most beautiful beaches within driving distance to the north and south plus the fantastic darling downs to the west! 😊 thanks for watching!
Thank you, thank you so much for the great videos! Thanks to you, our trip to Sydney and Brisbane went super smoothly! Unfortunately 7 days wasn’t enough, but we will be back for more adventures!
Thank you so much for letting me know! :) So glad you had a good time!
Hello Beautiful & Energetic Princesses Phoebe..So amazing & beautiful an other video of ur Homeland.
Thanks for watching Usman
Thank you for the great tour. I loved my last visit to Brisbane and hope to return soon.
I’m so happy you enjoyed our home town 😍
Phoebe, great program you make! Please continue! Greetings from Moscow!
Thank you so much!! Please stay safe over there!
Great information thanks
Great content. Thanks for this video, I can’t wait to explore Southbank 😁
Thanks so much Genevieve! Have a fantastic time when you do.
When we began planning for our trip to Brisbane, it was this video that we first found and it was this video that sold me on the visit. It was also this video that introduced me to your channel and all the other great videos that we used to plan the other part of our trip. We didn’t get to do everything (which just means that we’ll have to go back soon!), but we went to Southbank, saw Streets Beach (closed for maintenance 😢), stayed in HSW right next to Felons Brewing, and enjoyed a day walking through the CBD and Botanical Gardens. Thank you, Phoebe. Because of you and your great videos, we had the best vacation of our lives! Keep doing what you do-not only are you living your best life, you’re also helping us do the same.
Thank you.
Rob&Erin
Rob & Erin I am blown away by your generosity and kindness 🥹 So much goes into making the videos and knowing they’re useful and help people have a wonderful trip is thanks enough but to have you so generously use the super thanks is unbelievable ♥️ I truly appreciate the support! It’s so helpful to me in creating future episodes so just know you’re playing a huge part in my upcoming Europe series 🥰 so grateful for the both of you! Travel safe x
Great video and beautiful city
Thank you so much for watching!! Have a great day - Phoebe x
Fantastic presentation of this beautiful city.
Oh, thank you so much!! We had the pleasure of visiting Sweden for the first time a few years ago (in summer) and absolutely loved it! I've never seen anywhere quite as magical as the archipelago spots we visited (Utö, Sandhamn... amazing!). Australia would be very lucky to have you and Brisbane is such a wonderfully, livable city. Coming from these long Swedish winters, you'd love our blue sky winters! They're pretty special. Yes, I think it is hard to immigrate to Australia but I hope it happens as seamlessly as possible for you and your family! Have a great day and thanks for watching, glad the video could give you a spark :) Phoebe x
@@travelforphoebe Yes, agreed, Sweden is quite the place in the summer. But that's just it. When summer occurs, it's beautiful. This summer though, +14C and rain, every other day. And soon we're back to fall, with more rain, wind and cold... Summer in Sweden is always a gamble and it's rarely longer than 1,5-2 months. Soooo... ;) You might see the appeal of moving from this country? Hehe! Thank you once again, have a lovely day!
What a GEM!
Thank you so much!
That was so enjoyable to watch. You chose the best place to stay, right there at South Bank. Its certainly worth swimming at the man made beach, with dressing rooms close by. Yes, so much to see. There are also free lunchtime concerts at the City Hall on Tuesdays at 12 noon. Its called the Lord Mayors Lunchtime concerts. Worth seeing who is playing … can be from jazz to classical and more.
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate the kindness and support 😊🙌🏻 thanks also for sharing your tip!! It’s a goodie ❤️ Phoebe x
Thanks for the info
Thanks for watching!
Nice video of Brisbane👍
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼♥️
Most liveable city in Australia. Excellent video. Well done !
Totally agree! 😍😍😍 thanks so much for watching
Beautiful 🥺🌎
Thank you so much for watching :) Phoebe x
It was a really nice video tour,, like ur videos, u just made me in love with brisbane 😄
That makes me so happy! Thank you :)
I love love love Australia, I have been staying in Melbourne, Sydney, but I think Brisbane will be my favorite city although I haven’t been there, Now I want to move to Brisbane although I have no idea how it’s gonna to happen. My soul is there.
Well, I hope you're able to make the move to Brisbane sooN!! Thank you so much for watching!! :)
wow so beautiful city ......thanks mam
Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
We started doing shots every time you say “you guys” 😂
Jokes aside enjoying your Noosa, hinterland, Brisbane vids to help us plan
I wouldn't recommend that hahaha you'll get blitzed very very fast! :)
3 months after this video i was staying in rydges southbank in hotel quarantine when i got back from spain haha!
Magic city. Most liveable city in Australia. Yes lived in Sydney in the best suburbs for 25 years.
We totally agree Anne! Thanks for watching.
Good to hear ❤️ yeah I have grown up in inner city Brisbane. My dad grew up at Bondi in Sydney yet he still thinks Brisbane is #1 😂
@@sszzsxvsHad a surf shop on the front at Bondi way back. Best move i ever made was moving north to Gold Coast but absolutely love Brisbane. Such a liveable city compared to cold fractured Sydney.
Great for younger people with houses half the price of Sydney.
Awesome video as always showcasing our city! Did you wanna do am updated video this year perhaps after Queens Wharf opens? Would be great!
Brisbane weather is lovely , miss the sun here in melbourne
Thanks for watching ☺️🙌🏻
Woooowww 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍beautiful place😘😘😘😘
Thank you soooo much Vergel!
Hi I'm sitting in cold UK, sniffling memories of my last visit. Hoping to return later in the year to see my family in Brisbane and Adelaide.
Haha oh noooo! I’m packaging up some warmth and sunshine and sending it your way 😊♥️ Hope you can see your family soon! Phoebe x
I'd love to see a video of things to do or places you like to eat in the suburbs north of Brisbane :)
Okay!! Thanks for letting us know 😍🙌🏻
So much recognition from my trip to Australia back in December'19/January'20. It's still feels unreal I've been here just 2 months ago! I liked the quietness in South Bank and I loved the public swimming pool🥰. Also the parks were a great way to relax. Especially the public chairs in the park next to the Ferris Wheel. It's a great way to escape the busy CBD in which the traffic was terrible. I didn't know CityHopper was free, I used the $2,70 CityCat all the time. Also, I liked how the Kangaroo Point bridge was completely covered in blue light during night😍. It seems Brisbane is even more beautiful by night than by day. I love to have a kitchenette in my hotel as well. Fun fact: I slept in Oaks Felix on Felix Street, you may guess once why I booked this property😇. I would love to do a helicopter ride, I have never done such thing in my life so far🥺, I'm gonna save it for my New Zealand trip in the future🤗. Thank you for giving me a flashback to my best holiday ever and have a great week! 🤙

hahaha Watching this would've been like visiting all over again for you, Felix! I can't believe you stayed at Oaks Felix!! I used to work right on Mary Street when I had an office job still :) So glad you had a good time when you visited. That Polar Steps thing is so cool!! It looks like you had the best time - I really liked seeing our city through your photos :D P x
My Favourite UA-cam Channel.....- Biggest fan From Sri Lanka.
🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you sooooo much!
I have been living here for almost 7 years and I toured Australia but so far QLD is my N 1
Oh I’m so glad you like it here! Thanks for watching!
If God says' i have planned to join Brisbane's life soon moving out from Ethiopia to AU, Brisbane and am so exited to live and explore new things there. Just wish me Luck❤❤🙏❤
GOOD LUCK! You got this :)
Hello from Brisbane
Hello from Brisbane as well 😂🙌🏻
Brisbane 😢❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!!
Greetings from the American Land of Oz, the State of Kansas! I really want to come and visit Australia but funds and COVID... Cheers and take care of yourselves!
Hahah the land of oz! Love it! I hope you can visit our oz very soon 😊
Awesome content Phoebe and amazing camera work Matt 👌. Love how natural you come across makes for a very easy watch...are all Aussies from Brisbane this chilled and lovely☺️? Newly subscribed from the UK and now binge watching all your videos from years ago😁.
I was wondering do you base yourself in Brisbane between travelling and doing the blogs? Would you say Brisbane is a pretty appealing cool city for single people to fit in aswell just I'm actually considering applying it looks amazing. Just I see lots of couples and family videos saying how great a city it is for them and kids but not much from a single persons perspective.
Safe travels 🌞
So glad you found the channel and thank you so much for watching so many 🙏🏼😌 Yes, I’m not one to travel constantly, I like to go away then come home to edit/recharge. Brisbane has come a long way and is a pretty big city now, there’s lots to do and lots of people to meet
Thanks for doing a video of my city guys ❤ #missinghome #brizzy
Thanks for watching Tasha! We hope you get back to Brizzy soon :)
@@travelforphoebe thanks guys I hope so to 😁
If you plan to come. Make Brisbane your central hub. Stay at least 4 days. Beautiful beaches south and north. Amazing rainforest 30 min drive from the city. Mt Glorious. To the East is stunning Moreton Bay. Full of dolphins turtles and Dugong. Brisbane is Australia's most under rated city. In Brisbane try Roma Street Gardens. Mt Cootha lookout and Botanical gardens. City botanical gardens. Cultural Centre has Museums galore. South bank Gardens. Try the suburban centres such as west end, Paddington, new farm and bulimba. Catch a city cat ferry and cruise the river. Eat at Eat Street. Try rock climbing at kangaroo point. Go to lone pine to hug a koala. Explore Toowong Cemetery. Do a ghost tour of Boggo Road Jail. Visit the Commissariat Store museum for a taste of early life. Go visit historic Newstead house. Try the Bulimba Creek walking tracks at Carindale. Vistit the many bushlands around the city including Boondall wetlands. You will be surprised how much there is to do in this city let alone the nightlife and all the normal things.
Many tourists say they wish they had planned to stay longer.
Brissy is the most Australian city in the country. Melbourne is European and Sydney is cosmopolitan. Brisbane is laid back and welcoming. People smile and are happy to chat with strangers. There is very little graffiti as the council clean it off. Brisbane is very clean and modern yet still has Australis most grandest old buildings. Brisbane is more and more embracing it's subtropical climate. Many lovely flowering trees and plants. The river is brown. It's a tidal river so it will never be blue or clear. It is home to 2000 bull sharks. That's why no one swims in it. There are many Eddy's and rips under the surface you can't see. Sunrise and sunsets are stunning. Blue Sky's are common with big puffy white clouds. It's perfect weather in winter June to August. The best time of year is September. Stunning days. Summer can be stiffly hot and humid with spectacular thunderstorms most afternoons.
Most of all the same comment most tourists say is they can't believe how green Brisbane is. Some have said it's a city of forests. It was voted one of the most beautiful cities of the world for it's mix of grand sandstone buildings mixed with gleaming glass skyscrapers and it's gardens and flamboyant color. Enjoy
Wooooowwwww thank you so much for taking the time to share all that great info!! I'm sure it'll come in really useful to people planning to visit.
i wish this year, oz will be open border for tourists specially for indonesian. i really wanna visit my family ❤️
Oh it must be so hard being separated from them for so long! Thinking of you and hoping you get to see them soon x
Hope to enjoy there soon.. n meet new people..m gonna move to gold coast this Feb, 2022.
You’re going to love life in Queensland, I’m sure!
Perfects ครับ
Thank you so much! xx
Great video as always. I envy you for living in such a beautiful city (and country)!
One small gripe - I wish there was better equalisation (?) between the music volume, and the parts where you speak.
Thank you so much!! We really are so lucky 😍 it’s always good to hear what people like or don’t like 😊 we do our best but can’t make it perfect for everyone - one person’s loud is another’s soft 😂🙌🏻 thank you again! Have a great day!
Show 👏👏👏
😍♥️
Nice
Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful video ❤️
I was Born in Brisbane and lived there for 18 years. Now i live in Italy and i dont like It i want to come back. Thankyou so much for this video ❤️

Thanks for watching!
Wooo..Matt in front of the camera again. No matter how brief ;p
+Jason Sue haha the smallest of cameos. It’s like a Where’s Wally Book 😂
Awesome video. Love Brisbane. I prefer it over Sydney any day :)
Haha me too! I lived in Sydney for a while and it just... I dunno... I was sad living there! Queensland has a much different feel 😊❤️
Little Grey Box absolutely. Like when I visit Sydney every couple of years, everyone seems stressed out and not very social. By the time I arrive back in Brisbane airport and to the air train, everyone just seems more laidback and friendlier.
I now know where to stay next time I come down under
Hope we can all travel again soon!
I love u phoebe 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for the support and for watching! 😊❤️
I liked ur video also
Thank you!

Yes!!!!! Thanks for watching Kaiwai!
Omg you replied thx I sub and turn the notifications on and liked you are a legend
Kidding me right? There’s a few good spots but generally Brisbane objectively in the dark ages in terms of food culture.
Little Grey Box was I talking to you xd
