Best time to visit Perth

Perth boasts a hot-summer Mediterranean climate all year round. Spring (September to November) is considered the best season to visit the city. Tourists are exposed to mild weather, clear blue skies and the sweet aroma of blooming wildflowers. Autumn (March to May) is an ideal time to avoid the touristic crowds while still embracing beautiful weather. For cheap flights to Perth, consider the low season, which runs from May to the first week in June, and from the third week in July to the third week in September. It is late autumn and winter respectively during these times and temperatures are cooler and comfortable.

There are no specific vaccinations required for entry into Perth and the rest of Australia. All travellers should be up-to-date on routine vaccinations, before travelling to the city. These vaccines include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox), and yearly flu shot.

Perth is generally a safe destination to travel to. Australia has a stable political system, well-maintained roads, low crime rate and high standard of health. Travellers are still encouraged to practice caution when travelling in the city.

Tips for staying safe in Perth:

• Maintain vigilance in bars as fights amongst local patrons could ensue.

• Avoid walking in the streets at night.

• Should you make your way to an AFL derby final, keep your wits about you after the game – noisy crowds can be overwhelming!

• Tourists should make use of the trains or taxis. Buses can get loud and claustrophobic at night and it is easy to get off at the wrong suburb.

Perth is a vast city; travellers should make careful considerations when thinking of places to stay. Northbridge has a great selection of backpackers; it is great for those who do not mind the bustling sounds of the nightlife. It is also close to all forms of public transport, which makes it easy to explore the city. Fremantle is the ideal place to stay – it is close to markets, shopping centres, touristic attractions and restaurants. Tourists can catch a train to Perth CBD from Fremantle without any hassles.

Public transport in Perth is operated by Transperth – tourists can use the public buses, trains and ferries to explore the city. It is advised to purchase a SmartRider card (A$10) because it works out 15% cheaper than buying single tickets.

A more expensive but efficient option would be metered taxis. Perth is known for its decent and reliable metered taxi system. However, the distances can rake up a costly taxi fare. Swan Taxis, Black & White, and Uber are the reputable companies that are common throughout the city.
