Walk around Swan River (Perth)
One of the must do activities in Perth Central Business District (CBD) is to walk along the Swan River. It is a beautiful walk just along the water and is very refreshing. This walk provides spectacular views of the skylines of Perth city.
If you are an art lover, then you will definitely love the art trail walk in the Perth CBD.
