Perth

The best time to visit Perth is during the shoulder seasons, from September to November (spring) and March to May (autumn). The weather is pleasant, with warm temperatures and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Summer (December to February) can be very hot, while winter (June to August) can be cooler and wetter.

Perth has a good public transport system, including buses, trains, and ferries. The free CAT (Central Area Transit) buses are a convenient way to get around the city center. You can also use ride-sharing services, taxis, or rent a car to explore the wider region. Consider using a Transperth SmartRider card for easy and cost-effective travel on public transport.

Some must-see attractions in Perth include Kings Park and Botanic Garden, Cottesloe Beach, Fremantle, Rottnest Island (home of the quokkas), the Western Australian Museum, and the Swan Valley. Elizabeth Quay is also a great spot for an evening stroll. Depending on your interests, you can also visit the Perth Zoo, Optus Stadium, or the Perth Mint.
