Heritage trails
Brisbane's built environment tells stories of our city's heritage and enriches its cultural landscape - from grand buildings in the heart of the city to the shops, schools, churches, factories, parks, trees and dwellings in our suburban neighbourhoods.
There are now 23 heritage trails across Brisbane that celebrate the stories of our local suburbs. Follow a trail to learn about the rich history of places and events that have shaped Brisbane's suburbs.
In addition to the heritage trails, find out about Aboriginal culture trails and the Kangaroo Point National History Project Trail.
