[2025 Fremantle Attraction] Travel Guide for Esplanade Park (Updated Jul)

This time, we will introduce Perth, located in the west of Australia! Perth is a wonderful city that is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This time, we will introduce the charm of the port town "Fremantle", which is a 30-minute train ride from Perth city. 🌊❤️ Not only those who live in Perth, but also those who are visiting on a trip can enjoy it in one day, so why not visit it? 💭 🚃 : How to get there Purchase a Day rider Standard ($10.40) from the ticket machine at the entrance of Perth Station. ※You can also ride the train with touch payment such as Visa. 🙆♀️ However, Perth buses require a designated IC card or cash. By purchasing this one-day pass, you can ride all trains and buses all day long! It's a great deal, so I recommend buying this 🤭 Perth Station → Fremantle Station (one train ride takes about 30 minutes) 📍Recommended spots ①Hush Speciality Coffee Start your morning in Australia with the famous coffee! This shop is recommended by a friend who lives in Perth ♪ There are many types of food, so please try it for breakfast. I recommend the cafe mocha 🥰 ②The Round House After strolling around the city, we headed here to learn about the history of Fremantle! This place has a history of sailors firing cannons at 1pm to set their clocks while sailing, and announcing the time. Even now, an event where a cannon is actually fired at 1pm is held every day ☺️☀️ The impact is amazing, and listening to the volunteer's explanation while looking out at the Indian Ocean will help you imagine the actual scene! Please visit around 12:45 and get a good position to see it! ③Kaillis Fish market Cafe After seeing the 1 o'clock cannon, I got hungry, so I had lunch at this cafe on the harbor 🍴⭐️ You can eat here both inside and outside! On a nice day, it might be nice to enjoy the atmosphere outside 💭 (※Seagulls are always trying to get scraps of food. Make sure you protect your food 😂😂) I had Australia's famous Fish and Chips and lemonade. The portions are large, so if you're going with friends or family, sharing might be enough 🙆♀️ Eat it however you like, whether you pour vinegar on it or dip it in ketchup! ④Gelatissimo Fremantle After lunch, we spent some time relaxing in a nearby park, then headed to this shop to get some ice cream☀️ This shop has a very strong flavor, and there are so many varieties that I couldn't decide what to get☺️ At times like this, I ask the staff for recommendations and order exactly what they recommend! The staff recommended Irish Coffee and Salted Caramel milk this time, so I ordered a double. The bitter coffee flavor and the sweetness of the caramel were really delicious❤️ ↓ I wanted to see the sunset, so I went to Cottsloe Beach, which is famous for its sunsets (It's four stops from Fremantle Station, and about a 10-minute walk from Cottsloe Station♪) This beach was so beautiful that I could see the horizon right in front of me, and it was so moving🥰 It's nice to walk along the beach while listening to the sound of the waves. It's also nice to sit on the grass or sand and watch the sunset. I think you'll enjoy whatever you do! *There are only restaurants and ice cream shops nearby, so you might want to bring some snacks with you🙆♀️ The sunset was really beautiful, and I really wanted to bring my family here🌆☀️ This time, I introduced a town away from Perth city! If there's anything else you'd like to know, please leave a comment🥺 I hope this will be helpful for your trip☆ #triptoaustralia #perthtourism #fremantle #porttownwalk #cottesloebeach
