About Perth

Discover Perth

Why visit Perth?
Perth combines a relaxed coastal lifestyle with a thriving urban centre, where wide-open beaches sit alongside riverside parks and a compact city skyline. You can expect bright skies, outdoor living, and easy access to nature, from city-front sands to vineyard-dotted valleys.

What to expect
The city stretches along the Swan River, with neighbourhoods like the CBD, Northbridge, and Subiaco offering galleries, small bars, and cultural venues. Across the water, South Perth and the coastal suburbs reveal quieter streets, scenic walks, and plenty of shoreline for sunset views and evening strolls.

Plan your trip
Perth is an ideal base for exploring Western Australia, with day trips to Rottnest Island, the Swan Valley, and further afield to rugged coastal and inland landscapes. Whether you stay in the city or head out on road journeys, you will find an accessible gateway to some of Australia’s most striking scenery.

Getting around

For a scenic perspective, ferries cross the Swan River between Elizabeth Quay and South Perth. In the city centre, walking paths and cycleways make it easy to cover the final stretch of your journey.

Northbridge and the CBD bring together theatres, galleries, and live music venues, while suburbs like Leederville and Mount Lawley offer smaller streets lined with creative spaces and contemporary Australian design.

Where to unwind
You can slow down in riverside parks, beachside lawns, and the vast green spaces of Kings Park, where lookout points and walking trails invite unhurried visits. Early mornings are ideal for cooler temperatures and gentle light, while late afternoons and dusk are perfect for catching the city’s signature sunsets over the ocean or river.
