Meet like-minded people in Perth
On your own in Perth? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Perth is one of the sunniest cities in Australia, loved by solo travellers for its beaches, laid-back lifestyle and day trips to Rottnest Island to meet the quokkas. The vibe is relaxed and outdoorsy, with plenty of pubs, breweries and beach cafés. Travellers gather in Northbridge, Fremantle and the beach suburbs of Cottesloe and Scarborough.
Meeting people in Perth: what works
- Stay in Northbridge or Fremantle for social hostels, nightlife and easy public transport.
- Take a day trip or ferry to Rottnest Island and hire a bike to explore with others.
- Visit Kings Park for views over the city and the Swan River, and join weekend runs or walks there.
- Explore the Fremantle Markets and the breweries and bars along the cappuccino strip on South Terrace.
Stay safe
Swim at patrolled beaches between the flags, and protect yourself from the strong sun with sunscreen, a hat and plenty of water.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
