Heritage
Historic sites work best when they are grouped into a sensible area plan. Fremantle Prison, the Round House, WA Maritime Museum and Fremantle Markets fit a Fremantle day, while Old Court House Law Museum, The Perth Mint and East Perth heritage pages fit central Perth planning.
Some heritage places depend on guided tours, volunteer access, conservation rules, event closures or special opening arrangements. Check the official source before travelling for one specific building, room, tour or exhibition.
