Nature and urban life exist in harmony in Perth, on Australia’s west coast. Perth is where the locals soak up more sunny days than in any other Australian capital city. The city is bustling with new bars, restaurants, shopping and cultural spaces.

From eclectic markets to stylish malls, Perth offers a host of shopping options, each oozing their own unique style. You’ll find so much to buy; the only issue is making space in your suitcase for your new purchases.

Not only is Perth in Australia’s biggest state, covering nearly one-third of the continent, but it is also the gateway to the acclaimed Margaret River wine region, the ancient Kimberley region, the romantic outback beach town of Broome and World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef.
