Cairns, one of Australia's northernmost cities at 1,720kms north of Brisbane, is most famous as the gateway to the spectacular Great Barrier Reef.
Only three other Australian destinations receive more visitors than Cairns.
Hotels in Cairns city centre come in all budget ranges, from luxury beachfront resorts to the more than 20 hostels catering to the budget visitors who have earned Cairns the title of North Queensland's backpacker capital.
The main attraction in the city centre is Cairns Esplanade, which transforms from a tranquil bird watching and sunbathing spot by day to the liveliest part of the city at night.
Fitness stations along the 800m Esplanade Boardwalk can be used by anyone wishing to interrupt their stroll, jog, or cycling journey with more varied workouts.
The Esplanade's shallow artificial lagoon is the safest place in Cairns for children to swim, with a maximum depth of just one and a half metres.
The former Cairns Courthouse has become the home of the Cairns Regional Art Gallery, while the Cairns Reef Casino rooftop doubles as the Cairns Rainforest Dome where about 60 different animal species fly and roam freely.
