Great Cities of Australia

Perth is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city, which combines big city attractions and relaxed informal surrounds, is home to a myriad of bars, restaurants and shopping experiences and, should you need further enticement, it's the sunniest state capital in Australia!

Smack bang in the middle of the city and enjoying epic views is Perth’s pride and joy, King’s Park and Botanic Garden, an enormous expanse of unique bushland, tranquil parkland and botanic garden. A highlight is the Lotterywest Federation Walkway which leads to a glass and steel sky bridge crossings a canopy of eucalyptus trees.

Visit vibrant Barrack Square for the rocket-like glass spire of the Bell Tower, one of the world’s largest musical instruments; explore the Perth Cultural Centre; admire exhibits at the Art Gallery of Western Australia; follow the City Walking Trail; or experience the magic of gold at Perth Mint.

The Swan River runs in a handsome arc through the city and creates a startling contrast against the high rises.
