Public Transport Power Play: Trains, Buses & the Magical Cat Bus (Not Really)
Perth is pretty good on the public transport tip. You have two main contenders for museum domination: trains and buses.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
- Trains: Perth Train Station is your bestie here. A leisurely 15-minute stroll from the museum, it's serviced by a bunch of train lines. Just hop on the Armadale, Fremantle, Joondalup, Mandurah or Midland line and voila! Trains are a breeze, especially if you're coming from further out.
- Buses: Buses are another great option, especially if you're already cruising around the city centre. Keep an eye out for routes 57, 57A, 58A, 7, 7A, 7S, 16, 16B, 51, X7, X16, 3, 11, 11S, 12 & 34C - all these heroes will drop you near the museum. Just be sure to brush up on your "bus stop etiquette" to avoid any accidental tourist meltdowns.
Pro Tip: Download the Transperth app [Transperth website] - it's a lifesaver for planning your journey and avoiding any "Wait, is this the right bus?" moments.
QuickTip: Check if a section answers your question.
Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels... Well, Maybe Not
- Cycling: Perth is a cycle-friendly city, and the museum is slap bang in the centre. There are even bike racks on site, so you can pedal your way to museum glory.
- Driving: While you can technically drive to the museum, finding parking can be a nightmare (and expensive!). Unless you absolutely love the thrill of circling the block ten times, this might not be the best option.
