Visiting for Brisbane 2032
Brisbane and South East Queensland are gearing up to welcome the world in 2032. Here's an independent, plain-English guide to the region — where to go, what's free, how to get around, and where to stay. Everything on this page is our own editorial; official event details will come from official sources closer to the Games.

Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are close together — the Gold Coast is about an hour south of Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast about an hour and a half north. Public transport across the region runs on the TransLink network (trains, buses, ferries and the Gold Coast's G:link light rail), and major upgrades like Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro are on the way. Always check current timetables and fares with TransLink.
