| What To Do In Perth In Winter |
Embrace the Great Outdoors (Kinda)
Perth may not have snow, but it does have something even better: endless sunshine. Rug up (that's Aussie for "bundle up") and head to Kings Park for a brisk walk with stunning city views. Wildlife lovers can spot dolphins at Monkey Mia or try whale watching as these majestic creatures migrate along the coast.
Hit the Trails...But Maybe Not Those Trails
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Forget trudging through knee-deep snow. Perth's winter is perfect for exploring the many walking and cycling trails. The Swan Valley boasts beautiful scenery and delicious wineries (because what's better than a post-walk vino?). Feeling adventurous? The Perth Hills offer hiking trails with stunning views. Just remember, these trails are made of dirt, not ice, so ditch the crampons.
Channel Your Inner Ice Princess (or Prince)
Okay, so you can't ice skate on a frozen lake, but Perth has you covered. Strap on some skates and glide around the rinks at Cockburn Ice Arena or Perth Ice Arena. No Zamboni experience is complete without a post-skate hot chocolate, so grab one and refuel for your next lap around the ice.
Get Cultured (Without Freezing Your Bits Off)
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Perth's vibrant arts scene is the perfect escape from the (mildly) chilly weather. Immerse yourself in Aboriginal art at the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA), or catch a thought-provoking performance at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (PICA). Bonus points for warming up with a steaming cup of mulled wine at the on-site cafes after your exploration.
Unleash Your Inner Foodie (Because Comfort Food is Always a Good Idea)
 |
Winter is all about hearty meals that warm you from the inside out. Perth's got a smorgasbord of options, from fresh seafood to delicious curries. Indulge in a steaming bowl of laksa or a plate of fish and chips by the beach. Perth's many breweries are also perfect spots to sample some local craft beers and pretend you're at an Oktoberfest celebration (minus the lederhosen).
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
