Perth is a vibrant and modern city nestled between the Indian Ocean and the ancient Darling Ranges. It claims to be the sunniest state capital in Australia, though more striking is its isolation from the rest of the country - Perth is over 2,750 miles (4,400km) from Sydney by road.
The recent resources boom has seen Perth blossom into a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city with bars, restaurants, cultural activities and myriad things to do. Perth can also be chilled and laid-back, with pristine parkland and beaches to relax on, wonderful weather to bask in, and an easy-going character to enjoy.

Best of Perth: Suggested Itineraries
Get to know Perth by shopping in the glass-towered city center, meandering through leafy Kings Park, dining out in Northbridge or Leederville, and heading to the beach at Cottesloe or Scarborough. Of course, no visit to Perth is complete without venturing down to the relaxed heritage port of Fremantle.
There's plenty to see and do in Perth, and the following three-day itinerary will help you see the best of Australia's western capital.
On your first day, take a city tour to get your bearings. A hop-on hop-off bus tour takes in all of Perth's attractions, from Kings Park to Burswood Casino. In the middle of the day, cruise to Fremantle for lunch and a tram tour. And to end a perfect day of sightseeing, enjoy the city's waterfront views on a Perth City Lights Cruise.
Next day, cruise into the Swan River Valley for the day. Enjoy complimentary wine tastings on a laid-back wine cruise, or combine your cruise with an Aussie wildlife experience at Perth Zoo. Or spend the day on Rottnest Island, the locals' favorite day trip destination. You're guaranteed to spot a quokka, the island's unique and extremely cute pint-sized wallabies.
Perth is the jumping-off point for so many exciting trips. Head southwest to the famous Margaret River wine region to indulge in WA's gourmet lifestyle. Or combine Margaret River with a number of the state's top drawcards on a multi-day jaunt to see the dolphins at Monkey Mia and the eerie outback desert sculptures known as the Pinnacles.
