Arriving at Perth Airport

There are currently no direct flights to Perth, so you’ll need to connect through a major hub including, but not limited to, Doha or Dubai, before continuing on to Perth.

Perth Airport features four terminals which are split across two separate precincts around 5 miles from each other. International flights to and from Perth Airport operate from Terminals 1 and 3.

You'll find plenty of amenities, including currency exchange, shops, dining options, and convenient transport links into the city via train, bus or taxi at Perth Airport.

What to Expect in Perth

Perth may be regarded as one of 'the world's most isolated major cities', but a trip to the sunshine capital is anything but bleak! Expect an infectious laidback coastal lifestyle with vibrant multicultural influences and a thriving creative energy. This is all evident in the city's flourishing café culture where alfresco dining and a hearty brunch have become entrenched in Perthian culture.

If you're visiting Perth during the peak summer months then ensure you're planning your itinerary around the heat. Schedule outdoor activities in the early morning and late afternoon to avoid peak temperatures and ensure you're not overexposed to the blazing sun.

For the best views of Perth, head to the beautiful King's Park, one of the largest inner-city parks in the world. The 990-acre park is home to the incredible Western Australian Botanical Gardens which features over 3,300 species.

A trip to Rottnesst Island is a mandatory addition to any visit to Perth. Home to the world's largest population of quokkas, visitors can get up and close with the adorable critters (who are seemingly always up for a selfie) in their natural habitat. Regular ferry services run from Perth to Rottnesst Island.

Other popular attractions in the city include Perth Cultural Centre, The Art Gallery of Western Australia and the Scitech Science Museum. If you're looking for a more unusual cultural excursion, take a trip down memory lane and check out The Nostalgia Box, the first Australian museum dedicated to video game consoles. From the Sega Mega Drive to Playstation 3, the museum has a dedicated exhibit featuring over 100 video game consoles spanning four decades and is home to an interactive retro gaming arcade.
