THE CITY
When you arrive in Perth, you'll be amazed by the beautiful beaches, abundant sunshine and friendly people. Perth experiences more sunshine than any other Australian capital city, so it's the perfect destination to visit at any time of the year.
Enjoy fish and chips on the beach at Cottesloe while you watch the incredible sunset; have dinner at the top of King's Park overlooking the Swan River and city skyline; take an exhilarating helicopter flight to the ancient formations, the Pinnacles; or snorkel and relax on beautiful Rottnest Island.
