The capital of Western Australia, Perth is one of Australia’s sunniest cities, with over 300 days of sunshine each year, and has a relaxed, family-friendly vibe, despite being Australia’s fourth-most populated city.

With gorgeous white beaches, big green spaces and a buzzing arts scene, there are plenty of reasons to visit Perth.

If you’re looking for something a little more active, there are plenty of opportunities for water sports such as jet skiing, surfing, kayaking and sailing, or scuba diving and exploring the rich marine life off the coast.

For culture and history, there are a number of aboriginal arts and crafts galleries and history tours.

The food scene in Perth is varied, with restaurants catering to all tastes, including locally caught seafood!

If you can get there for January, you’ll also get to experience the Australia Day celebrations in Kings Park, which over 350,000 people attend every year!

So for a relaxed trip in the Aussie sun, without the hustle and bustle of the busier cities, look no further than Perth.
