What to do in Perth

Perth offers a perfect blend of chic metropolitan charm and breathtaking natural beauty. From its artisan food and wine to stunning beaches and natural wonders, the city has something for everyone.

Discover vibrant urban street art, cultural precincts, and lively entertainment hubs. Immerse yourself in history and tradition with an Aboriginal walking tour through the enchanting Kings Park. Savour the flavours of the region at local restaurants and cafes that highlight fresh, locally sourced produce, and enjoy the city's proximity to pristine beaches.

For a day trip, visit the friendly quokkas on Rottnest Island or explore the historic streets of Fremantle. If time permits, venture further south to the Margaret River region for world-class wineries or head north to experience the unique geological wonders Western Australia has to offer.

Western Australia brims with diverse experiences across five regions. Explore the gardens, idyllic beaches and the vibrant culture scene in Perth and its surrounds. Taste your way through the South West, where award-winning wineries nestle against dramatic coastlines. Gaze at fiery red cliffs and turquoise waters in the North West, or take a sensory journey of serenity at Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu) and encounter awe-inspiring marine life on the Coral Coast. Or immerse yourself in ghost towns and gold rush history in the Golden Outback.
