Perth in a nutshell
Soak Up The Culture
Home to more than 13,000 species of Western Australian plants, Kings Park and Botanic Gardens is an idyllic sprawl of tropical flora and fauna ideal for a family picnic or evening stroll with a loved one. It has striking views of the city. History buffs should visit the War Memorial, which commemorates Australia’s fallen troops.
Swan River is a beautiful site that is great for budding adventurers wanting to explore. Choose from a range of water-based activities, including boating, fishing and water skiing or roll up your trousers and go for a paddle.
The Bell Tower is one of the country’s most iconic monuments with more than 18 bells housed in a modern bell tower that is a site you will want to photograph. This giant musical instrument includes 12 bells of St. Martin in the Fields in London. Records indicate they date back to before the 14th century. These are the only royal bells known to have left England, and they now make up a modern new landmark built in 1999.
Tastes To Try
For sky-high dining, the C Restaurant is perfect and is Western Australia’s only revolving restaurant. Found on the 33rd floor of St Martins Tower on St Georges Terrace, it's an unforgettable dining experience in the sky.
La Rebelle is an intimate Paris-meets-New York bistro that sets the scene for a romantic dinner for two. It has a top-notch European and Australian wine list alongside a modern menu to feast on. The burgers are exceptional here. As for something more local, Wildflower is a fine-dining restaurant serving flavours inspired by Indigenous cuisine. The foraging-led menu follows the six seasons of the Indigenous Noongar calendar with stunning views to match.
Family Fun Guaranteed
If you’re after a fun-filled day with the kids, the Marmion Marine Park is ideal, housing reefs, ledges and caves that can be explored along with a snorkelling spot to see all the marine life. Seabirds, dolphins and sea lions all call this paradise home, and it's a hotspot for migrating whales too.
Adventure World is Perth’s only theme park with the tallest and longest Tornado waterside in the world. Called Kraken, you are in for a ride with this choice! Abyss is Perth’s only rollercoaster and is named Australia’s best, so make sure you take advantage while you’re here. Reaching speeds of up to 85 km/h, your heart is sure to be racing. Not for the faint of heart, Goliath is a stationary pendulum that swings higher and higher at angles up to 120 degrees.
Meet some of the friendliest animals in Australia on Rottnest Island. This laid-back island off the coast of Perth is home to quokkas, small marsupials known for their cheery smiles. Quokka spotting is a must here, alongside hiking, cycling and beach-hopping across this pristine nature reserve. It's the perfect place to get outdoors.
