Perth is Australia’s sunniest capital and one of its most relaxed, effortlessly beautiful cities. Set between the winding Swan River and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, it blends laid-back coastal living with a thriving food, wine and arts scene. Home to the Whadjuk Noongar people for tens of thousands of years, Perth's modern history began with the establishment of the Swan River Colony in 1829, and traces of its rich Indigenous and colonial heritage can still be found throughout the city.
Explore white-sand beaches, wander through leafy neighbourhoods, or take a short ferry ride to Rottnest Island to meet the famous quokkas. Nearby Fremantle, Perth's historic port city, charms visitors with its beautifully preserved Victorian architecture, maritime heritage, lively markets, craft breweries and vibrant café culture. Just outside the city, the Swan Valley offers boutique wineries and gourmet producers.
Beyond the urban centre, Western Australia opens up into a world of striking natural beauty, from the otherworldly Pinnacles Desert to the forests, vineyards and surf beaches of Margaret River. Perth offers the perfect starting point for exploring this sun-soaked, relaxed coastline.
