Freo, as it's known by locals, is a vibrant port city you can't miss. Situated at the mouth of the Swan River, the multi-cultural city has a charm of its own, setting it apart from the rest of Perth. Fremantle has world-famous heritage buildings and a fascinating maritime and convict history. And it boasts the best preserved example of a 19th century port streetscape in the world. Essential stops on the history trail include WA's earliest convict jail, the Roundhouse, Fremantle Prison and WA Maritime Museum. Freo has retained its authenticity, anything-goes attitude and creativity. It's also a shopaholic's heaven. Browse through crafts, clothes, jewellery, food and curios in the bustling Fremantle Markets.

You can get around most of central Fremantle for free on the (Central Area Transit) CAT Bus which runs every ten minutes during daylight hours. It is orange with a large black cat on the side. Look for the CAT symbol at bus stops, and maybe even paw-prints on the footpath. The CAT Bus is wheelchair and pram accessible, including kneeling (automatic lowering suspension) and ramp access. Stop #8 is right at the Passenger Terminal.
