A day trip through the hills is delightful or you can base yourself in a tranquil B&B and spend a few days meandering through the lush hinterland. These villages have a timeless serenity that is deeply relaxing.
Each village has its own character, with antique and curio shops, galleries, tea houses and cafes.
National Parks
At the heart of a region renowned for its physical beauty, Lismore is on the doorstep of some of Australia's most significant World Heritage-listed reserves, spectacular National Parks and State Forests.
These natural treasures include Mt Warning National Park surrounding the caldera of the ancient volcano, the Border Ranges and Nightcap National Parks and the last eleven remnants of "The Big Scrub", the vast rainforest which once blanketed much of the region.
The rainforests around Lismore are some of the region's most popular attractions. Visitors can experience, first hand, Mother Nature's wonders at the many idyllic camping and picnic spots scattered throughout the National Parks and reserves.
A network of bushwalking trails throughout the parks offer everything from gentle ten minute strolls to two-day hiking adventures.
Shopping
With the largest retail shopping precinct in the Northern Rivers, Lismore is a shoppers' paradise.
The centre of town, known by locals as "The Block", has everything from chic boutique fashion and designer homewares to organic produce and rare books.
There are quirky speciality stores, sidewalk cafés and arcades full of surprises.
Lismore's diversity is reflected in a dazzling array of shopping choices. The wide streets of the shopping precinct are lined with beautiful heritage buildings and the Wilsons River meandering through the central business district enhances the relaxed country atmosphere.
Dining
One of the benefits of Lismore’s multicultural lifestyle is the vast selection of foods in the city and surrounding villages; restaurants range from vegetarian/vegan to steakhouse, Indian to Thai and al fresco to al-la-carte. There are also heaps of cafés to choose from and several popular nightspots offering the chance to mix dining with live entertainment.
Our new Café and Culture Trail will guide you through Lismore’s cultural development and tempt your taste buds with a journey through our regional cuisine selections. Start your sampling at the Lismore Visitor Information Centre with their extensive range and local products.
In addition there are organic produce and farmers markets, where you can purchase fresh fruit and vegetables direct from the source.
