When someone starts summarising the characteristics of Perth, the list can start to sound a little make-believe: Always sunny. Very relaxed. Friendly locals. Beautiful city parks. Spectacular food scene. Untouched natural beauty. Incredible beaches. And world-class wine regions on your doorstep.
Surely that can’t be real - surely one city can’t have all that? But it is very real, and one city can have all that - and more. But if you’re short on time, there’s no need to fret; you can still enjoy the capital of Australia’s west in one day.
Where to stay

What to do
Start your day the right way and grab a coffee from La Veen, one of the best coffee spots in the city. If you’re in need of some retail therapy, take a stroll around Raine Square which is the new home for premium fashion and brand accessories.Then it’s time to begin sightseeing, and what better way to start than with the jewel in Perth’s Crown, Kings Park.

From high above in the park, you have stunning views over Perth city, the sparkling Swan River, the distant Perth hills and the beautiful blue sky Perth is so famous for. Walk along the famous Fraser Avenue and Federation Walkway for the best views.
