The trail continues into the CBD with some fantastic displays located near the Perth Underground. Here, you could make a pitstop at The Aviary for a rooftop bevvy, before wandering through the Murray Street Mall to take in the final light installations of route one. 

And don’t forget to snap a selfie while on the Christmas Light Trail. Simply upload your photo to Instagram using the hashtag #thecityatchristmas (and make sure you’re following @visitperth and @crowneplazaperth) for your chance to win the ultimate staycation at Crowne Plaza for the 2020 Australia Day weekend. 

Once you’ve finished with route one, you can continue through to routes two and three if you’re up to it, or alternatively save those for another night and take your date on a wander through the Christmas Markets.

The market scene in Perth is packed to the brim with festive options this Christmas. Every Friday night from 4pm onwards you’ll find vibrant and festive stalls to peruse in Forrest Place, Yagan Square and Cathedral Square. It’s a fantastic low-key date night option that allows you to cross some Christmas shopping off your list, while at the same time spending quality time with that special someone! 

Of course, not everyone is looking for low-key when it comes to a date night. For those wanting something a little more refined, a spot of Christmas shopping in the CBD before heading out to indulge your palette in a taste sensation could be the way to go. 

When it comes to Perth’s fine dining scene, it’s hard to go past the Treasury Building and its selection of delicious restaurants. Five-course degustation with paired wines at Wildflower anyone? 

Other great options for a tasty meal include the Apple Daily at Print Hall, Meat & Wine Co, Lalla Rookh and the C Restaurant to name just a few. 

So, whether you’re planning a first date or you’ve been together for years, there is something for every couple, every budget and every taste bud in Perth City this holiday season.
