Things to do in Perth For Free

Some of the best days I’ve had in Perth haven’t cost a cent. The city is built around a river, a coastline and a 400-hectare park, and all three are free. These guides cover the free things to do in Perth that I genuinely rate, not padding to make a list look longer.

Kings Park is where locals send every visitor first, Matilda Bay is my pick for a riverside picnic, and Bold Park is the bushland walk that feels like leaving the city. Over summer the Christmas lights, twilight markets and New Year’s Eve fireworks are all free too, and better from the foreshore than a paid rooftop.
