Perth Essentials

Perth’s landscape is defined by the massive Kings Park botanical gardens and the winding Swan River. The city’s heritage is visible in the 19th-century Perth Mint and the Tudor-style London Court shopping arcade. Modern landmarks include the glass-encased Swan Bells and the suspension-style Matagarup Bridge. Coastal highlights feature the white sands of Scarborough and Cottesloe beaches, while Northbridge serves as the central hub for dining and cultural institutions like the Western Australian Museum.
