Perth / Boorloo. A city that leaves room for living.
Perth's lifestyle isn’t a backdrop to the city – it’s the main attraction making the capital surprisingly easy to enjoy. Days feel nothing like the everyday in other major Australian cities. It’s a lighter, calmer, more balanced pace of life that’s always uplifting, never exhausting. It’s a city that feels good to come back to and gives you more reasons to return in every season.
A life lived outdoors year-round
Look up, and you’ll find one big, glaringly obvious reason why. Clear blue skies stretching overhead for 70% of the year and sunshine flooding Perth / Boorloo’s broad streets and open connected spaces for an average of 8.8 hours a day.
Light is a constant that lifts every season and moment, from quiet riverside morning brews and picnic lunches sprawling across 120 hectares of parks and gardens, to rooftop sundowners, blockbuster game nights and big Fringe Festival vibes.
Designed and built on a pleasingly human scale, Perth / Boorloo has a sense of openness, calm and ease that most capitals can’t match. Every moment feels uncrowded with space to breathe. And with hundreds of kilometres of walking and cycling paths winding from riverside to cultural centre, connecting every space and precinct, every movement feels effortless. Even the buses are free anywhere in the CBD.
A place where nature plays
Nature hasn’t been pushed out beyond the city limits, you’ll find it co-existing without compromise right in the heart of Perth / Booorloo. The steady flow of the Swan River / Derbarl Yerrigan is an ever-present serene scene you can take in from almost every precinct. And towering over the city’s iconic skyscrapers is Kings Park / Kaarta Koomba – the largest inner-city park on Earth – a 400-hectare picnic and playground of natural bushland teeming with life and blooming botanic gardens.
From sun-up to after dark, the city is alive with culture, arts, events, food and social energy to rival any capital, in every precinct and season. But there’s a big difference that’s good-different. Everything feels unforced and relaxed, without pressure or performance. Big-ticket international music and sports events year-round, without the elbows. The longest summer festival vibes. Plenty of free family fun. And waterfront, rooftop and outdoor dining that changes the rhythm of a meal that’s always memorable.
A different city in every walkable direction
No capital city on Earth opens up and welcomes you in quite like Perth / Boorloo. It’s possible to experience every side of city life here, in every characterful precinct, all within a short walk from the CBD. Seamlessly blending urban cool and grand heritage with leafy, riverside calm, you can easily hop from its always-on creative social engine to its relaxed village-like food and wine scene.
