The Perth City Guides answer what every visitor wants to know: where Perth eats noodles and dumplings, which beach to choose and when to swim, how to spend a day in Fremantle and on Rottnest Island and where to watch the sun drop into the Indian Ocean with a drink. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving the reason to go, what to order or see and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the moment you pay.

Three places from the guides
Tak Chee House
William Street, Northbridge
A Malaysian canteen with devoted regulars, serving Hainanese chicken rice, bak kut teh and smoky char kway teow. Expect every table taken at weekday lunch. From the food guide.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden
Fraser Avenue, West Perth
Hundreds of hectares of bush and gardens on the hill above the city, free and never closed. Cross the Federation Walkway through the treetops and come back at sunset for the skyline. From the things to do guide.
The Basin
Rottnest Island
A limestone-ringed cove a short walk from Thomson Bay, with still turquoise water for a swim or a snorkel, showers and a cafe nearby and quokkas wandering past. From the day trips guide.
Play the trail, then follow the guide
World City Trail’s Perth scavenger hunt, escape game and audio tour take you through the historic centre. The guides carry on where the game stops: dumplings in Northbridge, a sunset walk in Kings Park, the train to Cottesloe for a swim or a ferry out to Rottnest Island the next morning.
