Visit Kings Park and Botanical Gardens

No visit to Perth would be complete without entering Kings Park – the site of over 13 000 species of Western Australian plants. This park is easily accessible and provides a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy. For adults, there is the well-known glass bridge, which overlooks the Swan River. For children, there is the Rio Tinto Naturescape Park that was designed especially with children in mind, giving them a chance to learn about Western Australian nature in a beautiful and fun environment.

Nightclubs

Nightlife in Perth during December

At night-time, Perth comes alive. Some of the best nightclubs are in Northbridge, which is a suburb on the outskirts of the main city area. These are three of our favourites.

  • Jack Rabbit Slims is well-known by the locals for hosting a variety of different artists and bands.
  • If you are looking for something more vintage, consider visiting Mint, which loves to play music from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.
  • If decadence and luxury is more your style, consider Geisha Bar.

Bars

If bars sound more appealing than clubs, look for:

  • The elegant Halford Bar
  • 399 Bar, which is conveniently located near China Town

or

  • Caballitos, a bar well known for an incredible selection of tequila

Grab a Coffee

Australian coffee is incredible, and Perth is no different. Consider Maystreet Bakery for delicious caramel donuts and lattes, La Veen for beautiful interior décor with exposed brick, or Café Vinyl for their huge muffins and quality brews.
