The city of Perth is a charming city. Perth combines its role as the administrative capital of Western Australia with an extremely relaxed philosophy of life. Here, business and leisure are enjoyed with equal enthusiasm. A modern city, Perth boasts of being the safest and cheapest city in the country. Backed by the Indian Ocean, Perth offers a very varied range of aquatic activities. The nearest town with a million inhabitants is Adelaide, 2,104 km away! Perth has a very pleasant climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, where daytime temperatures are rarely below 15°C. To the southwest of Australia's west coast, on the banks of the Swan River, Perth could feel a little lonely: the nearest town, Adelaide, is 400 km away... But the inhabitants of this former penitentiary colony have taken advantage of it to forge an independent and relaxed mentality. Their motto: "no worries", no problem. It is true that the weather is not a cause for concern. The Mediterranean climate, hot and dry in summer (from December to March) and mild in winter, is pleasant all year round. All the more reason to travel to Perth, where adrenaline and endorphin go hand in hand. Canoeing, kayaking, kitesurfing, jet skiing, picnicking in a park, cycling along the Perth Waters or Canning River bike trails or strolling the historic downtown streets. Shopping sprees? High Street will offer you a complete selection of boutiques, from fashion clothing to Aboriginal crafts. Hungry? The restaurants in the fishing port have freshly caught seafood on their menus in the Indian Ocean. To remind you that living conditions in Perth were once more difficult, you can even go hiking with an Aboriginal guide who will introduce you to survival in the bush and make you taste the food of the bush tucker by listening to the tales of the Rainbow Serpent, the snake of the rainbow. Thrills guaranteed. Take a boat tour on the Swan River with a panoramic view of the skyscrapers and visit the 400 hectares of the botanical garden near the city centre by bicycle. For marine adventurers, don't miss the Shipwreck Museum on Cliff Street, which houses the wreck of the famous Dutch ship Batavia. Don't expect to sleep much during your stay in Perth. Pubs and microbreweries can be found everywhere, especially on Capuccino Street, one of the busiest streets. Music lovers will also enjoy the free concerts organized each Sunday by the Fremantle Arts Center.
