7 days in Perth Itinerary

A modern metropolis of glassy skyscrapers, waterside boulevards, and lush residential neighborhoods, Perth sits on the edge of the Swan Coastal Plain.

Bring the kids along to Dolphin & Whale Watching and City Beach. Head to Aspects of Kings Park and The Sacred India Galleryfor some retail therapy. Explore Perth's surroundings by going to Mandurah (Silver Sands Beach & Waterskiing & Jetskiing), South Beach Recreation Reserve (in Fremantle) and Rockingham (Rockingham Beach & Point Peron). And it doesn't end there: find your balance on the water with some of the best stand-up paddleboarding in the area, examine the collection at Aviation Heritage Museum, enjoy some diversion at The Nostalgia Box Museum, and browse the exhibits of Glen Cowans' Studio at the Roundhouse.
