Looking for ideas on how to spend a weekend in Perth, Australia?
In this cinematic local guide, I share a relaxed 48-hour itinerary beyond the beaches — from peaceful morning walks and café culture to vibrant markets, riverfront moments and laid-back nightlife.
Saturday usually begins slowly. I start with a morning walk through local green spaces like King’s Park, Lake Monger or nearby neighbourhood reserves before heading out for coffee. Perth’s café culture is part of the rhythm of the city — in this video I stop by a favourite spot in Highgate, North Perth.
From there, weekends often shift into something more lively. Local markets such as Fremantle Markets, Malaga Markets or Subiaco Markets offer street food, small shops and a vibrant community atmosphere. Later in the day, I like to head towards the river — around Elizabeth Quay, South Perth foreshore and the newer walkways and bridges in East Perth — where the skyline meets open space and the pace slows down.
Evenings in Perth can take many directions. Sometimes it’s a relaxed drink by the water, other times a local pub, sports bar or rooftop setting in the city. Places around Yagan Square, riverside venues and neighbourhood pubs all form part of the city’s social life. Then I stop for a bite to keep the energy going.
Sunday begins quietly with church at St Mary’s Cathedral, followed by time in the CBD — wandering through shops, watching street performers along Murray Street Mall, and meeting friends for lunch. It might be sushi, yum cha in Northbridge, or simply discovering somewhere new.
To end the weekend, I often head out of the city for nature and fresh air — wine tasting in Swan Valley or cider and scenic drives in the Perth Hills, finishing at places like Mundaring Weir.
This film is not just a travel guide — it’s a personal look at everyday life in Perth and how locals experience the city beyond the coastline.
