Brisbane City Hall anchors King George Square with its grand sandstone columns and soaring clock tower, a slice of Neoclassical elegance in the middle of the CBD. The foyer greets visitors with polished marble floors, bronze honour boards and a skylit dome that draws eyes upward before you have even collected a tour ticket. Free guided tours run several times a day and take you through the formal ...

Located right in front of King George Square, Brisbane City Hall is a beautifully preserved historic building. If you book in advance, you can take an elevator up the clock tower and enjoy sweeping views of the city. Inside, the building houses well-organized exhibition spaces, and on the third floor you’ll find the Museum of Brisbane, a small but thoughtfully curated museum worth visiting.

I've been to many events held here over the years from balls, to awards, voting even bridal expos and it's a very versatile space. The historical beauty is well presented and preserved. I've added a couple of photos from tonight when we took the kids in for the ever spectacular Christm...
