Top 5 Reasons To Visit Perth
Perth is Western Australia’s vibrant capital city which is renowned as the world’s most isolated capital. Situated between the great Outback and the Indian Ocean, the city is considerably far from any other Australian cities, but despite its distance, there are so many reasons to fall in love with Perth — it’s definitely worth making the effort to visit. Brightsun Travel offers cheap air tickets to Perth, allowing you to explore this glorious city. Below are the top 5 reasons why you should visit Perth.
The Glorious Weather
Perth offers around 3000 hours of sunshine each year which is more than any other Australian capital city, so pleasant weather is pretty much guaranteed all year round here. The city has very warm summers and mild winters, which means the fun outdoor culture is ongoing throughout the year, with plenty of outdoor sports, bbqs, picnics, festivals and other outdoor activities to enjoy.
The Stunning Beaches
Perth faces the Indian Ocean, allowing visitors access to many beautiful beaches with white sands and dazzling blue waters. Cottesloe is a much loved beach destination — it’s located just outside of central Perth and it offers some excellent snorkelling opportunities. Another favourite is Scarborough Beach which has a plethora of restaurants, cafes, shops and ice-cream kiosks. There are also many smaller and uncrowded beaches in Perth which make for an excellent retreat.
The Amazing Wildlife Encounters
Perth offers visitors some unforgettable wildlife experiences. Between September and June, travellers have the opportunity swim with wild dolphins in the ocean on an unforgettable boat trip. Relatively close to Perth is Heirisson Island, a nature reserve home to wild kangaroos — this is an unmissable experience. Another amazing wildlife encounter opportunity near Perth is at Penguin Island, where visitors can discover penguin colonies.
The Thriving Art Scene
There are museums and galleries galore in Perth. The city’s main art venues are situated together in Perth Cultural Centre, which makes for an enriching day out. The Art Gallery of Western Australia definitely a top must visit — this exhibits a captivating collection of local masterpieces. Perth is also home to plenty of fascinating street art; the city hosts an annual street art festival and you can embark on interesting walking tours of Perth’s painted alleys.
The World-class Food & Wine
Perth is the ultimate foodie’s paradise! There are countless top quality local restaurants and markets to visit here, and the Northbridge suburb of Perth offers a tantalising melting pot of international cuisines.
