It is a popular circuit for the city’s fitness geeks that starts from the eastern side of the Kangaroo Point beginning at River Court view.
It has a multipurpose path split into a cycle lane and a pedestrian lane. To get a wholesome view, cycle along the path till its endpoint at Howard Smith Wharf Precinct. There are many places along the path to stop and enjoy the opposite scenic view.
City Hopper River Cruise
This is the perfect way to get an awesome view of the Brisbane river and that too free of cost. The City Hopper Ferry covers the waterway from Sydney Street in New Farm to North Quay in the city. It is also used as a free transport service between the city and inner suburbs. This free hop-on, hop-off service runs every half an hour between 6 am and midnight, seven days a week. It also has rooftop seating available to add on the fun element.
