Welcome to West End

Popular for its trendy cafes, quirky shops and bold art pieces, West End is only 3 kilometres from Brisbane's CBD. Boundary Street, the main thoroughfare, is a rich fusion of fantastic coffee, designer shopping and exotic food.

Enjoy a delicious coffee over a game of chess at The Three Monkeys. Reminiscent of a gypsy caravan or Persian tea-house, this West End institution is a great place to meet friends or relax after exploring the shops.

Shopping for designer threads or cheap vegetables? You'll find both ends of the scale on offer in West End. The mix of wares available here is unmatched in Brisbane. Eclectic bookshops and galleries line the streets, alongside vintage clothing stores and Asian eateries. With plenty of places to sit and eat, the Green Flea markets are also a great spot for a bite to eat. Stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables, including organic options.

Pop into Bicycle Revolution for a cheap, recycled push bike to get around the city, keeping with the West End tradition of laidback casual cool. Or, for something different, try a hot air balloon ride for unsurpassed views of Brisbane.
