Take in the Views from Castle Hill
Rising almost 300 metres above sea level, Castle Hill is one of Townsville’s most recognisable landmarks and one of the best places to appreciate the scale and beauty of the region.
Drive to the summit or join the locals tackling one of the popular walking tracks. At the top, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views across Townsville, Cleveland Bay and Magnetic Island.
Visit around sunrise or sunset for particularly impressive views across the city and coastline.
Wander Through Townsville's CBD
Spend some time exploring central Townsville, where heritage buildings sit alongside colourful street art, cafés, restaurants and contemporary urban spaces.
Flinders Street and the surrounding CBD are ideal for a leisurely wander, while City Lane is a great place to stop for something to eat or return later for an evening out.
Catch the Action at Queensland Country Bank Stadium
For sports fans, a visit to Queensland Country Bank Stadium is a great way to experience Townsville’s local atmosphere.
Located close to the CBD, the stadium is home to the North Queensland Cowboys and hosts major sporting matches and special events throughout the year.
Game nights bring plenty of energy to the city, and the stadium’s central location makes it easy to combine an event with dinner or drinks nearby.
