Hosting millions of visitors a year, Fremantle symbolises the modern Western Australia and presents some interesting and exciting contrasts, for sure.

Situated on the coast, Fremantle lends itself to activities such as sailing and other water sports. It can wear the commodore's cap on the sailing scene, and then don the sun-beaten hat of the busker.

You can work around the Fremantle map and visit historic sites such as Fremantle prison, as well as the inspiring panorama at Fremantle fishing boat harbour.

Maybe you'll start your stay with a cruise to Rottnest Island or plan your itinerary around one of the annual festivals.

You'll have lots to talk about as you enjoy dinner at a Fremantle restaurant or sip a cool drink at one of the Fremantle hotels.

In football, that's the absolute truth, with the Fremantle Dockers a major national force. But let's get back to the subject, tourism, and the Fremantle culture is so rich and deep, you'll quickly find out why it is the headliner for Perth tourism and has a wealth of entries on overall lists of Perth Accommodation. Your Fremantle accommodation will put you in the middle of the action.
