This is a great first stop to get your bearings in Perth.

It's right on the river, easy to reach, good for a coffee or brekkie, and connects you to heaps of other attractions on foot or by free with the CAT bus.

Nearby attractions include the Bell Tower, museums, and the CBD! There are heaps of walking tours available like this one if you'd rather explore with a guide.

Know before going:

• Don't skip the Pedestrian Bridge, has epic views of the city skyline and the river

• Best explored in the morning when it's quieter and cooler

• Jump on the free Blue or Red CAT buses if you’re heading elsewhere in the city
