Here you can discover many curiosities about the history of Australia, its flora and fauna, and his art. In particular, I suggest you stop in the area dedicated to’Aboriginal art: it's really worth it.

To learn more about’Aboriginal art and have a feast of contemporary art, you can't lose it’Art Gallery of Western Australia. Entrance is free and the selection of temporary exhibitions is really excellent.

Kings Park e CBD

Kings Park is one of the most largest urban green spaces in the world. Here you can admire carpets of spring wildflowers, a baobab tree beyond 750 years and more 70 bird species. You can follow various pedestrian routes or rent a bike.

From Kings Park you can enjoy an excellent view of the CBD, the business center, with its sharp skyscrapers. It is an easy walk from the park. When you are in the center I recommend you follow the two shopping streets (Even on Murray Street). Finally go and visit the feature London Court, a small street built according to traditional English architecture.

Elizabeth Quay, Perth Pier on the Swan River, full of restaurants, bars and clubs. Here you can dive into Perth's urban life. In addition to the various refreshment points, you'll also find numerous outdoor art installations and a number of luxury hotels including the Ritz Carlton Perth and the DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront.

In particular, I suggest you do a aperitif on the banks of the Swan River at The Lucky Shag.

Rottnest Island

Located alone 30 minutes by ferry da Fremantle o Hillarys, Rottnest Island is classified as a Class A Reserve and boasts an abundance of natural resources. On his 63 wonderful beaches with very white sand you can swim, go diving and surfing. The island is almost exclusively pedestrianized and many of the attractions focus on sustainable and stimulating holiday experiences with minimal environmental impact. The easy terrain of the island and the almost 22 km of cycle paths make exploration in bicycle the best option, so I highly recommend you rent one.

Furthermore, Rottnest is very famous for its wildlife and, in particular, to be the home of the very nice quokka. Definitely on the list of the most cuddly animals on the planet, quokkas are hopping marsupials native to Rottnest Island. They are friendly and very photogenic, but be careful: it is strictly forbidden to touch them and feed them. Nothing prohibits, But, take a selfie with them!

Cottesloe Beach

Cottesloe is the beach Perth's most popular, located approximately 20 minutes from the city center. I recommend you go there in the mid-afternoon, so you can take a swim in the clear waters before finding a beach bar to have a drink and enjoy the sunset over the Indian Ocean.

The suburb of Fremantle

Fremantle (brake per i locals) it's picturesque port city of Perth. In the ornate Georgian and Victorian buildings you will find numerous boutiques, restaurants, bars and galleries. I recommend you take a look around Fremantle markets and then go and sip a local beer at the Little Creatures Brewery o alla Gage Roads, by the ocean.

If you are passionate about art, here too you will find a lot of Street Art. Not only, I suggest you visit the Fremantle Arts Centre. It is free and offers contemporary art exhibitions (Aboriginal and otherwise) really interesting.
You can reach easily brake taking the Transperth, a sort of metropolitan train that leaves from the city center.

And desserts

Between deserts most famous in Western Australia there are two that are only a couple of hours' drive from Perth. These are the White Dunes of Lancelin and the Pinnacles Desert.

The Dune in Lancelin, as can be seen from the name, they are an expanse of very white sand, to the point of looking like snow-capped mountains. Il Pinnacles Desert, Instead, it is yellow and takes its name from the curious rocks that emerge from the ground. These are limestone formations that can take on the most varied shapes.

I recommend booking one of the many guided shuttle tours departing from Perth's CBD.
