21 days in Perth Itinerary

A modern metropolis of glassy skyscrapers, waterside boulevards, and lush residential neighborhoods, Perth sits on the edge of the Swan Coastal Plain.

Change things up with these side-trips from Perth: Rockingham (Point Peron, Penguin Island, &more), Fremantle (Fremantle Markets, Fremantle Prison, &more) and Mandurah (Dolphin Quay, Dolphin & Whale Watching, &more). Dedicate the 20th (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. On the 25th (Sun), give your taste buds a day to remember with a local gastronomic tour. There's lots more to do: take in nature's colorful creations at Kings Park and Botanic Garden, find something for the whole family at Adventure World, take in the waterfront activity at Hillarys Boat Harbour, and contemplate the long history of The Perth Mint.
