How To Make The Most Of Perth Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours

If You Only Have a Day: Take the first Perth city tour bus of the morning, which reaches Kings Park at about 10:20 AM. Walk the Lotterywest Federation Walkway through the treetops and climb the DNA Tower before the buses stop serving the park. Spend the afternoon in Northbridge, Yagan Square and Elizabeth Quay, all within walking distance of each other.

With 48 Hours: Give day one to Kings Park, Optus Stadium and Crown. On day two, start at the Bell Tower at 10:30 AM and ride on to the Perth Mint for its 12:30 PM tour, if you've booked the combo.

For Photos, Sit Upstairs: The top deck of the open bus has no glass.

Things to Know

Perth stands on Whadjuk Noongar country. The hilltop in Kings Park, known as Kaarta Gar-up, has been a significant place for the Noongar people for thousands of years. The park is free to enter, and from September to November it fills with Western Australian wildflowers.

Summer days are hot, but most afternoons a sea breeze called the Fremantle Doctor blows in and cools the city.

Northbridge is Perth's main restaurant and nightlife district, a short walk from the James Street stop. Western Australia is also known for its seafood and for wines from the Swan Valley and Margaret River.
