News: Driving into the city.  — 1 year ago

I drove into the city today (Saturday). It isn’t something that I normally do. There does seem to be more city towers there than when I was there last time but it wasn’t all that appealing. I drove around a couple of times trying to find a parking spot. I couldn’t find one so I dropped my wife off so she could do a bit of shopping and I went home and watched the footy. Freo and Claremont are much more appealing places to hang out.

I never have any trouble getting parking in Freo.

if i go into the city or freo, which is pretty often, i go by train! way easier mate.. and yeah freo seems more relaxed and less rush-rush.

If I go into the city, I almost always park in the Pier St CPP. If you go up the top, there are always spots. I go to the city pretty often and I’ve only ever seen it full once, that was Easter.

Places to go in the City

There are a few places worth the effort in the city.

1. PICA - Perth Institute of Contemporary art.

2. AGWA - Art Gallery of Western Australia

and if you venture in and around the buildings you can find quite a few little interesting places full of design delights.

It’s not what you are looking at but how you see it!!

Definatley take the train to the city, if you park at City West it’s free.

I agree catching the train is the way to go to get into the city.
