Perth is one of the most isolated major cities in the world.

From stunning beaches to exciting nightlife, there’s something for everyone here. Let's explore some of the best things to do and see in this amazing city.

Perth  (Mooro) sits where the Swan River meets the southwest coast. The CBD of Perth is bounded by the Swan River to the south and east, with Kings Park on the western end, and the Perth City Link to the suburb of Northbridge to the North. Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens on Mt. Eliza offer sweeping views of the city. To the east, the city is bordered by a low escarpment called the Darling Scarp. The Perth Arena is a building in the Perth City Link area. Hay Street and Murray Street have most of the retail and entertainment facilities.
