City Hall is beautiful and truly iconic. Inside and out I've always found there to be something magical about it. 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 Christmas display. Honestly it gets better every year. My only gripe about it is the amount of dark harsh concrete in King George Square from the renovations they did years ago. It gets so hot in summer. I wish they would add some trees back to allow for some shade so you could take time to comfortably appreciate the area more. Otherwise it's lovely.

Beautiful historical architecture of the Brisbane City Hall. Great illuminations during the Christmas season. Excellent light and sound shows during the Christmas evenings.

Brisbane City Hall is an iconic and magnificent building, making it a must-visit landmark for anyone traveling to Brisbane. Its historic charm and central location make it a highlight of the city. However, it would be even more engaging if the Brisbane City Council expanded its range of events during the Christmas period to offer more variety and create a unique festive experience for both locals and visitors.

Make the time to visit Brisbane City Hall. Even if you are not a history buff this place is still very much a must see. Free to travel up to the clock tower, the Museum is wonderful but the architecture of this building leaves one aghast - It’s Beautiful! Floors hand laid, marble stair cases, the auditorium is viewable and the huge organ stands out as the main attraction!

This building is a must to visit. I did a tour a few years back and the history is amazing. The architecture inside and outside is beautiful. Have attended a few functions as well. Gorgeous venue
