Lifestyle and Shopping in Perth

Expats moving to Perth can expect a lifestyle that reflects a bold appreciation for nature and a mutually appointed respect for modernity.

Belts of waterways, green parkland and more than 50 miles (80km) of sandy white beaches exist in perfect co-habitation with a compact central business district. The result is an airy and easy-going culture shaped around stunning landscapes and an enjoyable work environment.

The city’s Mediterranean climate makes for great outdoor options; expats enthralled by picnicking, water sports, hiking and jogging will adapt fast to the local lifestyle and enjoy a metropolis that doesn’t mind sitting still and watching the world go by.

Perth is also a major supporter of Australian arts and culture, and is constantly working as a city to advocate for local talent by partnering with institutions in opera, ballet, classical music and even avant garde.

With more restaurants per capita than other city in the nation, Perth may not have the same swagger as Sydney, but holds its own grains of culinary genius regardless. Not to mention, if the hedonistic lifestyle isn’t indulgent enough, Australia’s oldest wine lands – Swan Valley, is proximal to the city.
