The alphabet sign here is a true example of how a simple landmark can become successful in its own unique way. It doesn't require any fancy architecture or building design to attract tourists or locals. The sign is made up of simple letters, yet it has become an iconic part of the city's landscape. Its lights and colors are always beautiful, making it an easy attraction for people passing by. This landmark has been able to create a sense of identity and pride for the city. It has become a popular spot for taking photos. Its popularity has also helped to boost tourism in the city, as many visitors come specifically to see the sign. The alphabet sign has become a part of the cultural fabric of the Brisbane, and its significance goes beyond just being a simple sign. It represents the spirit and character of the city, and has become a symbol of its progress and development. The sign is a true testament to the power of simple design and how it can leave a lasting impact on the world.

I wish people didn't find this BRISBANE sign such an attraction to be climbing on the letters & through the letters. It's an attraction for tourists to take photos of, with city in back ground, it's not for the purpose of climbing all over on it. That is not what it's intended for that purpose. There is a perfectly great park, about a 2mnts walk. Go to that peoples. If it's too busy for you with your children wait till later or for another day, but surely leave the BRISBANE sign for the tourist's to take a photo & not be photo bombed of your children, & same goes for the older ones. Please be mindful of this, to tourists & for people who would like to take photos.

If your looking for a place to enjoy around with your loved ones, Families or Friends or even finding a place to be at peace,this place is the right place and i highly recommended this place. It's located in central Brisbane or people call it Brisbane CBD. If you loved Arts Queensland Museum is located here too. Beautiful views and there are few coffee shop and Restaurant near by here. PS: But as an Asian like me,i would prefer to bring my adobo with rice here hehe..Not only saving guys,it's just i loved my cooking too. Specially a views like this mapaparami ang kain mo talaga ika nga malayo ang mararating ng mga mata mo

  • Jenny

Quintessential tourist attraction in Brisbane. It is placed well, so that when you photograph it, you have the water/ river view and city in the background. When we came, there was some sort of maintenance going on so it was difficult to take a photo without the fencing in the image. However, it was still beautiful and you could get close to the letters if you wanted. We were trying to figure out the meaning of each of the artworks and how they related to the letters, which was quite fun (whether we were accurate with our interpretations or not). There is lots of seating nearby, so you could even just sit by the sign and relax.

  • Saurabha Deshpande

Beautiful place and kinda must visit if you are in Brisbane. There are few things to do in the area like the Brisbane wheel or just walk on the bridge to go the other side or even walk to the South bank which has some amazing food options. The Brisbane sign is one of iconic places in Brisbane and is located on south bank, this is a family area and the park has kids area on other side The walk on the river side is very refreshing as well.

  • Rodney Egel

Oh my, the word "Brisbane" in big letters, I better get a picture by it! Calm down, everyone; it's literally the name of the city and that's all. The letters don't dispense cash, food, or alcohol, and if you didn't already know you're in Brisbane then call the police, because you were probably kidnapped. Where was I going with this review...oh yeah, lots of cities have this kind of "attraction" nowadays so unless you have a photo collection of you standing by big letters, it's not really that cool.

  • San Tos

Great place with good vibe. If your looking for a place to enjoy around with your loved ones, Families or Friends or even finding a place to be at peace,this place is the right place and i highly recommended this place. It's located in central Brisbane or people call it Brisbane CBD. If you loved Arts Queensland Museum is located here too. I also got to see some amazing fireworks when I went there once. Beautiful views and there are few coffee shop and Restaurant near by here.❤️

It's a Beautiful place and we had a good time with friends. It was not very crowded at night when we visited there, Brisbane Sign looks amazing at night. The only issue we faced was parking, it was paid parking and our card was not accepted. So we parked our car 1 mile away and booked Uber to enjoy the evening in Brisbane Sing and the cultural centre. There was a paino a d a lady was playing it, which made our evening more beautiful. Thank you Brisbane.

  • Rock

Iconic Brisbane sign, next to the wheel of Brisbane. Come here at afternoon to get best light for pictures. Not to crowded, but you have to take turn if you want to take picture just for you. Its free, and you can explore another great attractions/views arround this area. A must visit place if you are in Brisbane.

A must visit iconic point of interest to see when in Brisbane. It gets very busy during peak times and it's difficult to get a photo without too many people. A good location near quite a few other points of interest, with the river and skyline as the background. Worth stopping by for a quick visit and photo when in the area.

  • Joydip Sinha

Situated in South bank parks location. Beautiful location with excellent surrounding views along the riverside. Lovely illumination in the evening hours. A great photo spot in Brisbane. Best part that there is no entry fee here.

I walk by the sign every morning. The view forever stays breathtaking with the city in the background, scooters just around the corner by the big wheel, and accessible and cheap parking underneath. The sign is always packed during the day and night so morning shots are best for those that like photography.

  • Chris Rohmann

Visually striking, but with a stunning disregard for the multicultural diversity of Brisbane. The letter N has I counted 16 photos of children, every single one of them white. It's way past time to update this image to reflect the city as it is.

It's definitely a cool tourist attraction with the city backdrop. Shame that most people ignore the huge NO CLIMBING signs and insist on climbing the letters, ruining photos for other people.... But if you go early enough, you might get a great shot without a bunch of strangers kids in the background.

  • HO HO

The atmosphere is very sunny and the weather is very cool. The metropolis can provide a place for children to play all day to cool off. The environment is very clean and many people are running and exercising. You must come here to play.

It’s a sign. When I was there they had fencing up for landscaping improvements. It was nice that I was able to get a picture without everybody climbing all over it. It was harder to get a picture with the sign, as it was disproportional. It’s in a lovely area and worth the visit.

  • NASSER AL-HABSI

One of the best viewing area in Brisbane. I loved alot. You have big choice of restaurants & museums around the area. There also a huge public swimming pool which feels like a real beach. Also, we will fine different entertainments thing just by walking around.

  • Priyam Chatterjee

If you come to Brisbane and don't visit or click a photograph here, it will not complete your visit to be honest. This is situated in the South Bank parklands, near Brisbane Wheel and Culture Center. A great place to spend few hours with friends and family.

  • Mfaume Nunda (Emperor Enga)

Went explore Brisbane and visit the Queensland Museum and the art Gallery, enjoy the pictures and if you have time check it out.explore for yourself experience. “they say the more you see the more you know “, “the more you hear the more you know”.

Beautiful City and Southbank provides the perfect vantage point. The Brisbane sign is forever changing and just gorgeous with the twinkling lights backdrop. Hard to get a great photo because of everyone climbing on it

  • Travellight (Jordan Taylor)

The recognizable Brisbane letters are a perfect spot to stop for a photo, located on the South Bank in a grassy park right next to the Wheel of Brisbane on the river. Great views of the city's skyline as well!

Lovely landmark the front side of the Brisbane Sign letters' can be more solid colours to make it look more outstanding in the picture. It rained night before, so the ground was a bit muddy. …

  • Michael McRoberts

Interesting to check out, but it’s pretty much as the name suggests! Great place to grab a photo / selfie for your trip but! Certainly worth checking out. Lovely backdrop against the city scape.

  • Aline Campos

Great way to take a pic and remember always the nice trip to brisbane. I wish people stopped climbing on the letters, sometime it will be ruined and we must conserve it. Recommend to everyone.

  • Birkdale & Wellington Point Florist Sharon

Love taking pictures here with the kids for each visit and will make a lovely view back for them flicking through pics growing up. cheers thanks for the well kept up park and free access.

  • Peter Lc

Located at Southbank with a great view of Brisbane City and the river as a backdrop. Is lit with colour-changing lights that complement the lights in the trees and the Victoria Bridge.

  • Bimarendra P. Kuswanto

This is a must-visit venue when visiting Brisbane. Located in South Bank, near to Queensland Performing Art Centre, The Wheel of Brisbane, Victoria Bridge, and ABC Brisbane Centre.
