About the host destination

Perth City is a vibrant blend of natural beauty, contemporary culture, and relaxed urban charm. Nestled along the banks of the stunning Swan River, the city offers a unique mix of cosmopolitan experiences and outdoor lifestyle. Visitors can explore laneway bars, award-winning restaurants, designer shopping precincts, and a thriving arts scene.

Perth is also within walking distance of lush green spaces like Kings Park and Botanic Garden, one of the largest inner-city parks in the world. The city’s cultural heart is centered around the Perth Cultural Centre, home to the Art Gallery of WA, State Theatre Centre, WA Museum Boola Bardip, and live performance venues that showcase the best of local and international talent. Elizabeth Quay, with its striking architecture, waterfront dining, and public art, provides a stunning riverside hub for relaxation and recreation.

Whether cruising the river, cycling the foreshore or simply enjoying Perth’s endless sunshine, the city invites you to unwind and explore at your own pace. From here, it’s easy to venture further to Rottnest Island via a short ferry ride, offering idyllic beaches and the chance to meet the famous quokka. The city is also the gateway to Western Australia’s wider regions, making it the perfect base for adventures into the Swan Valley, Fremantle, Mandurah and beyond.

With its laid-back lifestyle, natural surrounds and ever-evolving cityscape, Perth promises a warm welcome and experiences you won’t forget.
