Best things to do in Perth
Find out more about those top places in Perth
Perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean, Perth, the vibrant capital of Western Australia, is defined by endless sunshine and a famously easy-going attitude. Flanked by some of the world’s most spectacular beaches and divided in half by the languorous Swan River lagoon, Perth itself has a glittering skyline to rival any of eastern Australia’s largest cities. What is more, Perth’s geographical isolation – it is over 4000 kilometers from Australia’s east coast – has made it a cosmopolitan bubble amongst the outback with a thriving street art scene, fascinating museums, like Freemantle Prison, which pays tribute to the city’s dark Victorian heritage, and a buzzing music scene, with an array of dive bars where you can catch up and coming bands.
