Guides & Services

Perth's superb position on the banks of the Swan River and nearby hectares of natural bushland in Kings Park makes the city perfect for great outdoors activities. But there's more to the west coast capital than great sunshine and a sparkling river.

A new cosmopolitan perspective and economic growth has given Perth a cultural confidence which is making its mark on the city skyline and on other aspects of urban life.
