Perth is one of Australia's best tourist spots which is also the capital of Western Australia. Perth is also considered Australia's sunniest capital. On the West Bank of the Swan River, one can see the beautiful city.

Perth was discovered in 1829 by convicts heading to the area around the labour shortage. Then, Perth grew and bloomed during the 1890's due to discovery of gold. Today, the modern Perth has many stunning buildings, museums, churches, and skycrapers. Perth also offers great nightlife. The most popular nightlife area in the city is Northbridge which contains several nightclubs, restaurants, and bars.

Perth is also known for its beaches. One can find surfing excitement in Floreat, Leighton, Scarborough, Port, and Trigg Island, to name a few. Perth also has calmer beaches located in Peppermint Grove, Como, or Crawley.

As summer is fast approaching, Perth remains a superb tourist destination. Perth is undeniably a city to simply relax and enjoy.
