Where to shop


Whether you're looking for designer fashion, souvenirs, Aboriginal Art, antiques or local fresh produce, you can find a wide variety of shopping options in and around Perth and Fremantle.

City shopping


Perth's central shopping area is a designated tourist precinct which means,  most city stores are open seven days a week.

There are two major department stores in the city precinct, Myer, bounded by Forrest Chase and the Murray Street Mall, and David Jones, between the Murray and Hay Street Malls. Each specialises in brand cosmetics and fashions.

For gemstone and souvenir shopping with a quaint old English flavour, London Court is a favourite. The Murray and Hay Street Malls, Forrest Chase and Perth's many arcades are also lined with souvenir, fine jewellery and fashion shops. At the west end of the city in historic King Street, Louis Vuitton meets Tiffany and Co. along with boutiques and cafes set in a charmingly restored streetscape.

For those seeking designer goods at discount prices, head to Harbour Town on Wellington Street for a great assortment of goods from fashion, to homewares, shoes and sporting gear.

Fremantle

For colour, style, atmosphere and funky fashion, head to the port city of Fremantle. Like Perth, Fremantle is a designated tourist precinct, with many shops open 7 days a week.

Fremantle has a fascinating range of speciality shops. Tucked away in the character-filled streets and arcades, you'll find art and craft galleries, bookshops, music shops, duty free and Aboriginal art and artefact galleries. While shopping, allow time for a coffee at one of Freo's many vibrant cafes.

On weekends, join the colourful crowds who descend on the famous Fremantle Markets and E Shed Markets.

Some of Perth's best shopping precincts can be found in the suburbs surrounding the city.
