Best Perth Day Trips & Things to Do

Perth is the capital and largest city of Western Australia. It is also Australia’s most laidback and most livable city with some of the country’s best beaches. Here you will find a cornucopia of culture, clubs, pubs and restaurants. For commanding views of the city, head to the 1,000-acre King’s Park and Botanic Garden atop Mt. Eliza. Other points of interest include Perth Zoo, Swan Bell Tower, and Adventure World, Perth's premier amusement park. Those seeking a close encounter with the local marine life should head straight to Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, where you can swim with wild bottlenose dolphins and see a colony of Little penguins, the smallest species of penguin in the world.
