Cairns, however you want it

Cairns, a city with a rich history of treasure hunting, is now a hub for adventure seekers looking to explore the natural and environmental treasures that surround it. With the tropical rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef just a stone's throw away, Cairns attracts a young and intrepid crowd that adds to the vibrancy of this lively and welcoming city. The city's iconic Esplanade stretches along the shoreline for 2 km and offers a perfect spot for locals and visitors to soak up the sun, cycle, and lounge by the lagoon. The Esplanade is always buzzing with various musical and cultural events, and it's the perfect place to indulge in some fine dining or enjoy a drink at one of the many bars. Just north of the Esplanade lies the city's urban center, which boasts plenty of shopping and dining opportunities, as well as cultural and entertainment attractions. The area is peppered with charming historical buildings with their signature wide verandas and porches, making it a delight to explore. For those looking for some art and nature, the suburb of Edgehill is a must-visit.
