If you are visiting for the first time, it’s easy to get lost in the city center. To avoid such scenarios, go to the city’s information Kiosk located in Murray Street Mall. You will meet the knowledgeable staff who will give you a 90-minute orientation tour free of charge. The orientation tour of Perth begins at 9.45 AM and focuses on the highlights of the city. You will learn more about the city’s history, architecture, gardens, art, monuments, etc.

Likewise, a camera will help to record all the fun that you never want to forget.

4. St. Michael 6003

By now, you are almost getting exhausted – you’ve had a whole day of exploring.

By the time you leave the beach (after the sun has gone down), it’s now a good time to head for a long, relaxing dinner at St Michael 6003. The restaurant is said to be the best in the city – they are famous for their seafood.

For those who enjoy adult beverages, it would be so boring if you had to end your day with a taste of your favorite drink. There are so many pubs and clubs in the city – simply look for a good joint and join others to “shorten the night”. of the best clubs you can consider for all your favorite drinks is Margaret River region Pub. It’s strategically located and deals with all sorts of drinks – you can be sure that you won’t miss whatever you wish to enjoy here.
