Perth is the capital of the state of Western Australia, located on the coast of the Indian Ocean. This is one of the most beautiful cities in Australia, which has a huge tourist potential. The long and difficult journey here is more than compensated by kilometers of sandy beaches, natural parks and reserves, wide opportunities for outdoor activities on land and water, and a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in general.
The city, once a mere small settlement with buildings built by convicts, suddenly turned into a dream city with casinos and operas and millionaire residents, when in 1890 gold deposits were discovered nearby. Today, Perth is the largest business, financial and cultural center throughout Western Australia. Thousands of people strive to get here for the holidays. And if you are among them, then just continue to read our travel guide to find out interesting and useful information for tourists and travelers.
How to get to Perth?
The road to Perth is quite long. Direct flights are only from Singapore and Dubai. Alternatively, you can choose a flight with a change in Sydney and from there reach the capital of the western state on domestic flights, including low-cost airlines. On average, the journey takes about 15-20 hours, and taking into account the time of transfers, it can be longer.
Perth International Airport is just 20 minutes from the city. It serves both international and domestic flights. You can get from the airport to the city by shuttle or taxi.
Sights of Perth
Perhaps the main reason why tourists come to Perth is the excellent beaches on the Indian Ocean. Their diversity amazes the inexperienced tourist: there are beaches with calm waves (North Beach, Sorrento Beach and City Beach), with waves for surfers (Cottesloe, Scarborough and Trigg Beach), diving spots, as well as uninhabited beaches on islands where nature reigns in all its diversity.
Among other no less interesting sights of Perth can be noted:
- Swan River
- Fremantle Port
- Rottnest Island Nature Reserve
- Caversham Wildlife Park
- Mint and City Hall

In addition, the city hosts many festivals and celebrations, during which there are bright shows sometimes directly on the streets of the city. Also, a trip to a restaurant where you can try dishes made from crocodile meat or exotic Australian fruits can be a separate adventure for you.
