As part of our winter escape 2025 we went back to our most favourite city in the world, Perth in Western Australia. Being the city with the most hours of sunshine it is the perfect place for us to escape winter in our home country. It's an ideal city as there is no need for a car because public transport is well organised and free. On top of that it's clean, offers many restaurants and perfect beaches are closeby.
