Perth and its surrounding areas boast a number or superior qualities. Offering cosmopolitan flavour, stunning scenery, a temperate climate, and some of the worlds friendliest people; all these ingredients make Perth the ideal getaway location.

Perth centre is a vibrant city and the heart of this great state. The city is bursting with chic bars, restaurants, galleries, museums, theatres, nightclubs, and ample shopping opportunities. The city centre is beautiful, contrasting antique style buildings with modernise architecture.
 
The Swan River and Kings Park offer scenic moments, a connection to nature, and an abundance of activity; whilst remaining close to the pulse of the city.
 
Travel slightly south of the city centre and be greeted by Fremantle. This town displays creative flair with a carnival type atmosphere all year round. The streets invite performers, artists, and tourist to soak up its colourful history. With iconic monuments scattered throughout the town, and the famed cappuccino strip; Fremantle is a full day experience.
 
Relaxation is never a low priority in the Perth district. Skirting the city centre are numerous spots where visitors may stroll white picturesque beaches; marvel at marine life; reunite with nature on one of the many bushwalks; or enjoy a glass of chardonnay whilst overlooking the pristine vineyards. 
 
There is a wide range of accommodation in which to do your relaxing. The backpacker can find a number of hostels, while on the other end, the more discerning traveller can find the luxury they expect in more private settings. Due to its inviting atmosphere and endless fun to be had, frequent visitors are starting to buy timeshares in the Perth area. A timeshare sale can help save on lodgings over the long run, while securing you a place to stay year after year.
 
Rottnest Island is a popular location just off the mainland of Fremantle. Fitting any budget, a ferry will transport visitors to and from the island. Rottnest offers an array of beaches and secluded spots for swimming, snorkelling, or simply taking in the sun and stunning surrounds.
 
Whether your ‘must do’ list includes wineries, caves, surfing, fishing, shipwrecks, wildflowers, native wildlife, farm stays, beach or rolling hills; Experience Perth is a hub of activity waiting to be explored.
