Top Attractions in Perth
💡 Ask at the door for the key to the tower — if it’s unlocked, you can climb narrow stairs for a rooftop view of the town.
💡 Look for the small exhibition in the side chapel about the church’s role in the Reformation. The tower is not open to the public.
💡 The free guide leaflet at the entrance is worth picking up—it points out the hidden piscina and the 15th-century roof bosses. No photography during services, which are at 11am on Sundays.
💡 Check the small upstairs gallery for rotating contemporary exhibitions — often overlooked by visitors.
💡 Head upstairs for the small but excellent natural history cabinet with taxidermy and curios. The lift is slow; use the stairs if you can.
💡 The stained-glass window in the lobby is original but often overlooked; stand directly underneath to see the detail.
💡 Start at the bench near the old harbour wall at low tide — you can spot seals hauled out on the sandbanks.
💡 Go on a weekday morning to avoid school groups. The top-floor art gallery often has overlooked works by local 19th-century painters.
