Whether you are in the city for a short break or long holiday, make sure you do your homework about it to avoid unnecessary stress and hassle. Speaking of which, here are some of the basic information you should know about Brisbane.

Getting Around. Public transportation in the city is cheaper and a lot easier than ever before, thanks to the integrated ticketing system introduced by the government. The new system allows you to buy only one ticket for a bus, train, and ferry ride. If you are looking to save more money, consider getting a goCard, a rechargeable smart card that is up to 30% percent cheaper than single one-way paper tickets.

Climate. Brisbane has sub tropical climate which is mostly hot or warm most time of the year. In summer, temperature can reach as high as 30 degree Celsius, especially during December and February. In January to March on the other the city experiences more heavy rains.

Driving. Are you planning to rent a car? Here are some tips: Australian's drive on the left side of the road, distance is measured in kilometres, and drink driving is heavily fined.

Medical Services. If you are from the UK, Finland or New Zealand which has a reciprocal arrangement for health care with Brisbane, you may avail of free subsidised hospital and medical care. Otherwise, get a separate travel insurance policy.
