Located just 30 minutes southwest of Perth, where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean, Fremantle is a vibrant port city known for its bohemian atmosphere and impressive colonial architecture. While the West End of town is deemed one of the best examples of a Victorian port streetscape globally, the leafy suburbs boast countless magnificently restored 19th-century homes. Locals are proud of their well-deserved reputation for friendliness, eccentricity and creativity, which is expressed through their tireless support of busking, street art, festivals, concerts, and markets. With its thriving arts scene, lively nightlife, rich cultural heritage and seemingly endless opportunities for sumptuous al fresco dining, there is never a dull moment in this cosmopolitan city by the sea.
