Subiaco
1.9 miles from city centre
“Subi” is a classy place. Affluence is writ large here, with its well-heeled residents, the snazzy townhouses and a glut of gourmet restaurants. Start your day with a nutrient-rich brunch at Health Freak Café and pick out a shiny bauble in Rokeby Road’s jewellers. Then slum it with the Aussie Rules fans for a game at the Subiaco Oval!

West Perth
0.8 miles from city centre
The West isn’t that wild after all. Quiet West Perth is home to young professionals who commute into the city. You’ll see them pushing new-fangled prams or zooming towards Kings Park in a blur of logoed lycra. Tap into the contentment with a trip to Harbour Town Shopping Centre. Then head to Perth Observatory to contemplate the cosmos.

Perth CBD
In the city centre
Money makes the world go round. And Perth’s “CBD” does its bit to keep the whole thing spinning. The city’s commercial capital is a whirl of taxi horns, suits and the “ker-ching” of cash registers. Splash your cash on King Street before sampling award-winning cakes at Jean Pierre Sancho. Cap it off with a cocktail at lofty rooftop bar The Aviary.
Places to stay from £8 per night
Cottesloe
6.8 miles from city centre
Cottesloe’s all about fun in the sun. With bodyboarding, beach cricket and good old sunbathing, “Cott Beach” is Perth’s go-to spot for seaside frolics. Set your alarm early and grab breakfast at Vans Café (pancakes with honeycomb butter are their speciality!). Stay till dusk to catch picture-postcard sunsets over the Indian Ocean. You little ripper!

Nature and urban life coexist harmoniously in Perth, the capital of Western Australia. This is where the winding Swan River flows into the southern Indian Ocean, past steel-clad skyscrapers, lively waterfronts and pristine parkland – all under a relentless canopy of clear blue sky.
Kings Park – a huge green space spanning four square kilometres – sits at the city’s heart, containing giant white-trunked trees, botanical gardens and the State War Memorial which overlooks the river, named after its black swans. Across the river, Perth Zoo is home to more native animals such as koalas, crocodiles and free-roaming kangaroos.
Perth’s main draw is its surrounding natural beauty. From the flower-filled bushlands and the lush Swan Valley wine region, to golden sandy stretches like Cottesloe Beach and Trigg Beach, there are numerous landscapes to escape to.
Just offshore from Perth is Rottnest Island, a protected nature reserve that's home to white-sand beaches, secluded coves and wildlife including the quokka – a small wallaby-like marsupial. The island is also popular with surfers who come to ride the breaks of Strickland Bay. Spend a day or two by taking the ferry from the port town of Fremantle, known for its Maritime Museum and 19th-century prison.
Back in Perth, you can find hip boutiques, galleries, pubs and an array of laid-back restaurants in the Northbridge area.

KINGS PARK is the most beautiful park.
22 March 2024
KINGS PARK is the most beautiful park. Sir Lord John Forrest had a vision when he kept that land aside for the pleasure of the community. overlooking the city, it has stunning views or the river, city, and the trees lit at night and the memorial, it is certtainly a glorious place. the mountway where we stayed has free bus so close, took us to town. Elizabeth quays has wonderful cafes, and views , plus quick walk to the ferry to the south perth area and zoo. just a wonderful place. very laid back and friendly. shops were excellent too, needed more time to explore.

Perth is a small city, but yet offers a lot of places to see and experiences to enjoy. Most of them can be done by walk from the city centre. Kings Park, Bell Tower, Mint, Elizabeth Quay are within walking distance. Heirisson Island, Fremantle Prison, Perth Zoo, Matagarup Bridge can be reached by bus/train. The only downside of Perth is that most shopping places and tourist attractions wind up by 5pm. Most restaurants also close by 10pm. But its a delightful city and has to be visited

Scarborough beach- The sand was so soft and was lots of space for everyone but did find abit of rubbish on the beach, a sign would of been very helpful to say there is a drop off near the waters edge as I had to jump in with my clothes on to save my daughter from drowning was very very scary, as it was our first time here and didn’t know this, a sign would of been very helpful for us and to prevent this in the future for others.

After not visiting for 30 years, I was pleasantly surprised by how well Perth has grown up. Busier than it was before, of course, but not so busy that I wanted to leave straight away, like a lot of cities I visit. Generally cleaner than most Australian cities, easier to get around without a car. People ( with a few unfortunate and glaring exceptions) were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Green spaces abound, and there were enough attractions to keep us busy, without being overwhelmed. Great dining choices right across the spectrum from cheap and cheerful to cordon bleu. Check out Alfred's Pizzeria for delightful pizza, great beer. Capped off with glorious white sand beaches, and crystal clear ocean water.
Perth city is lovely and laid back.

Perth city is lovely and laid back. There is a lot of run down parts of the city but if you stick to the main malls and the jetty area you would be ok. WA coast is phenomenal and I highly recommend seeing the coastal suburb of Cottesloe and venturing out to Rottnest Island. I would like to come back and see the whole WA coast from Broome down to Esperance
