Activities To Do In Perth, Western Australia

Oh wow.  How do you even begin to describe all the various activities on offer in Perth?

To start with, Perth is probably best known for its glorious weather, sparkling river and endless stretch of pristine coastline – but it’s so much more than just a beautiful city with a laid-back lifestyle.

Perth’s star is on the rise.  It’s undergone something of a metamorphosis in recent years, shedding its ‘dullsville’ tag and developing into one of the most vibrant and exciting places to visit in Australia.  Substantial investment in infrastructural development and urban upgrades have galvanised dynamic changes to the city’s food, drink, shopping, arts and culture scene and with so many new and exciting things to do and places to visit, there’s every reason to get out and explore this glorious capital right now!

But how do you know where to start when it comes to planning your Perth activities?

We’ve put some of the main activities into various categories, so you can quickly see where your areas of interest are and then go from there.  For example, you may want to find out about Perth’s fascinating heritage, go on a gastronomic adventure or want family-friendly activities for your kids – have a look at the following suggestions (but remember, they’re only the tip of the iceberg and there’s so much more to discover!) and then have some fun exploring this dynamic and beautiful city.
