Morning: Start your day with a leisurely breakfast at a local café in the city centre. Then head to Kings Park to wander through the botanic gardens, enjoy panoramic views of the skyline, and snap photos from the iconic Lotterywest Federation Walkway.
Afternoon: Make your way to the Perth Cultural Centre, where you can explore the Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Western Australian Museum (allow time for the museum’s special exhibition). After soaking up art and history, board a Swan River Cruise for a relaxing hour of sightseeing along the river’s banks.
Evening: Dine at a waterfront restaurant in Northbridge, then travel to Cottesloe Beach to watch a spectacular sunset over the Indian Ocean. End the night with a gentle stroll back through Kings Park to see the city lights from the park’s elevated lookout.
Find HotelsIf you have extra time, consider extending your visit to include a morning trip to Rottnest Island for a half‑day adventure with the famous quokkas, or replace the river cruise with a sunset dinner cruise for a more upscale experience. To shorten the itinerary, skip the museum and focus on the outdoor attractions—Kings Park and Cottesloe Beach—while still enjoying the city’s highlights.
