Brisbane In April Travel Guide

April in Brisbane marks the official start of Autumn. There's a definite change in the weather and usually, the hot, steamy days have gone. It is a great time to get outside and walk around the sights of Brissy!

The weather definitely makes it really amazing to enjoy the city on foot.

April is a great month to visit Brisbane and enjoy all it has to offer.

School holidays fall in March and April depending upon when Easter is each year. And ANZAC Day is commemorated on 25 April.

Check school holiday dates (below) and plan around them, if you can.

Other areas that are great for exploring on foot include the historical buildings of the city, Eagle Street Pier Area, Kangaoroo Point, South Bank and other riverside areas.

The botanical gardens in the city or at Mt Coot-Tha are lovely at this time of year and views from Mt Coot-Tha are spectacular on a clear day.

It is still definitely warm enough to enjoy being bayside, on Moreton Bay on a boat or on one of the amazing islands.

Weather in Brisbane in April

# - Gold Coast sea temperature has been used because the data for Brisbane was difficult to interpret. Moreton Bay can have significantly different temperatures than the general ocean temperatures and realistically you don't come to Brisbane for the beach, but you do go to Gold and Sunshine Coasts for that. This is just an indication.

Tips for Visitors to Brisbane in April

For Australian Visitors

April is a great month to visit Brisbane, with weather that is great for just about all activities indoor, outdoor, sightseeing. It can still be pretty warm at this time of year, but the humidity is starting to drop.

There are usually some school holidays during this month, with dates depending upon when Easter falls.

For Overseas Visitors To Brisbane

April is a great month to visit Brisbane. The weather is still quite warm, but not the stifling summer heat and there is generally less rain.

There are usually school holidays during April (depending on the dates for Easter) and they can affect the busy-ness of attractions and sights around Brisbane.

Air-conditioning in your apartments is not so important as the summer months, because the night temperatures are usually not too hot. I still recommend air-conditioning for hire cars as it can be quite warm in the middle of the day and air-conditioning makes it a bit nicer travelling around.
