Cheap parking spaces in Fortitude Valley for rent

Recognised fondly as ‘The Valley’, the suburb of Fortitude Valley has solidified itself as a cultural hub of nightime entertainment and shopping. It was the country’s first dedicated entertainment district and continues to thrive today, drawing people from all corners of the country to witness and experience it.

The name of the land that now is known as Fortitude Valley came from the SS Fortitude that brought Scottish immigrants to Australia in 1849. While they were denied the land that was promised to them, it didn’t stop the first residents of the land and they settled in the area, eventually naming it after the ship that brought them to Australia.

In the 20th century, Fortitude Valley was known for its thriving retail precinct. In the 1950s, it was the largest non-CBD shopping precinct in the country, bringing people from all states to experience it. However with the rise of suburban shopping centres, the precinct gradually began to lose its popularity and fell into disrepute until the late 1980s, when it was revitalised with the completion of the Chinatown Mall.

Following the Chinatown Mall, other businesses began to add to the glamour, including various live music venues and nightclubs. This resulted in people associating the area with being a quality nightlife and entertainment area. Several thousands of people travel to the Valley in order to have a great night on the town and just to hang out with friends and family.

There are several things you can do in Fortitude Valley that are unique experiences. Have lunch at the Les Bubbles Steakhouse and afterwards, head downstairs and hit the spa with beer and cocktails. If you’re a fan of dancing, you can salsa the night away at Cloudland with lessons in the early evening and free dance time till the early hours.

Many of the car parks will offer a night rate or an evening flat rate due to how popular the suburb is.
