About Perth

Discover Perth

Why visit Perth?
Perth combines a relaxed coastal lifestyle with a fast-growing urban skyline, where white-sand beaches sit beside a compact city centre and leafy riverside neighbourhoods. You can enjoy outdoor living, creative culture, and easy access to nature in a single trip.

What to expect
The city is centred on the Swan River, with the CBD, Elizabeth Quay, and Northbridge forming the main urban core. Nearby beaches such as Cottesloe and Scarborough, plus riverside parks and wine country within easy reach, help shape a laid-back yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Plan your trip
Perth is an ideal base for exploring Western Australia, from Rottnest Island and the Swan Valley to the Margaret River region further south. With plenty of sunshine and a clear, simple layout, it is a comfortable gateway for both first-time visitors and returning travellers.

Experience Perth’s everyday rhythm

Getting around
Perth’s train and bus network links the CBD with coastal suburbs, Fremantle, and key attractions along the Swan River. Ferries provide a scenic way to cross the water, while walking or cycling is ideal for short distances in the central and riverside precincts.

Local life & culture
You will find a relaxed pace of life shaped by sunshine, outdoor cafes, and regular festivals in neighbourhoods like Northbridge and Fremantle. Street art, small performance venues, and waterfront promenades give you many ways to experience the city’s creative and social side.

Where to unwind
Wide riverfront parks, such as those around South Perth and Kings Park, offer shaded paths, picnic lawns, and viewpoints for unhurried afternoons. Early mornings and late afternoons are particularly pleasant for walking, jogging, or simply sitting by the water as the light changes.

A taste of Perth

Street food & local specialties
Perth’s casual food scene brings together fresh seafood, modern Australian flavours, and influences from across Asia and Europe. Food trucks and small casual spots around the CBD, Northbridge, and Fremantle make it easy to try a variety of quick, flavourful dishes.

Casual & modern dining hubs
City laneways, waterfront promenades, and shopping precincts are lined with modern bistros, cafes, and relaxed eateries. Menus often encourage sharing, so you can sample several plates, from light bites to substantial mains, in a single meal with friends or family.

Signature & scenic dining
For a memorable evening, choose restaurants overlooking the Swan River, Elizabeth Quay, or the Indian Ocean coastline. Elevated venues with city or sunset views turn dinner into an occasion, whether you prefer refined multi-course menus or polished yet relaxed modern dining.

Retail therapy in Perth

Malls & lifestyle hubs
Central shopping centres and pedestrian malls in the CBD bring together international brands, Australian labels, and lifestyle stores under one roof. Many feature cafes, cinemas, and casual dining, so you can combine errands, browsing, and leisure in a single visit.

Markets & local crafts
Neighbourhoods such as Fremantle, Subiaco, and Leederville are known for smaller boutiques, design stores, and regular markets. Here you can look for items made by local makers, from homeware and skincare to accessories and art, in a more intimate setting.

Evening retail scene
In the evening, key shopping streets and waterfront precincts stay active with illuminated shopfronts and late-opening dining. Night markets and seasonal events sometimes add extra energy, and public transport makes it straightforward to reach these areas and return to your accommodation.
