Insight Guides Smart Guide Perth

SmartGuide Perth is a pocket-sized encyclopedia of local knowledge. Its unique A-Z format is packed with information and listings selected and updated by a local writer.

The book condenses this sunny city's neighbourhoods into an easy-reference travel companion, giving you instant access to all the key sights and attractions, alongside beautiful pictures and detailed mapping.

After a concise run-down of Perth's must-see attractions, the Area sections reveal the most interesting neighbourhoods in the city, from the historic city centre to hip, urban Leederville and the fashionable suburb of Subiaco, as well as excursions to the sun-drenched beachside towns of Cottesloe and Claremont and into the Swan Valley. There is a detailed Atlas section to aid navigation around the city.

The A-Z features over 400 listings organised by everything from aboriginal culture to the wine country, so readers can pick and choose what to see and do, whether that's enjoying the local pubs, hitting the beach or exploring Western Australia's national parks. In addition, Insight Guides' trademark cultural and historical focus is evident in the chapters on film, literature, music and dance, and theatre. Sections on hotels, essential information and transport help you make the most of your visit.
