8 days in Perth Itinerary

A modern metropolis of glassy skyscrapers, waterside boulevards, and lush residential neighborhoods, Perth sits on the edge of the Swan Coastal Plain.

Venture out of the city with trips to Fremantle (Fremantle Prison, The Fremantle Round House, &more) and Dolphin & Whale Watching (in Mandurah). Dedicate the 13th (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. On the 14th (Wed), give your taste buds a day to remember with a local gastronomic tour. The adventure continues: take in nature's colorful creations at Kings Park and Botanic Garden, learn about wildlife with up-close encounters at Perth Zoo, appreciate the history behind The Bell Tower, and admire the masterpieces at Art Gallery of Western Australia.
