Standing beautifully right in the heart of the Brisbane rainforests is the Nepalese Peace Pagoda. This pagoda was set up in the Nepal Expo and was later moved to Brisbane. It is intricately built on Nepalese-style architecture and is one of the most peaceful places to visit in Brisbane.This is something that sets this site apart from the other modern museums, buildings, and structures. It is installed on the South Bank which is another best tourist place in Brisbane. This is a three-story high Pagoda and has around 80 tonnes of manually carved Nepalese timber. To your surprise, this mighty structure was all built by more than 160 Nepalese families and took around two years to complete.Location: Clem Jones Promenade, South Brisbane QLD 4101Best time to visit: Autumn season, March to MayDo Checkout: 3 Nights 4 Days Nepal Tour Package

Enjoy the birds-eye view of the city with the Wheel of Brisbane which is one of the best tourist places in Brisbane.

The entire wheel comprises several sitting capsules with a capacity of two people in each.Every capsule is air-conditioned and each ride lasts for about 12 minutes where you can spend one of the best times of your life.
