Fancy getting away from it all this winter without having to travel far? Then consider a trip to the bustling seaside port of Fremantle. For in winter Fremantle takes on a whole new feel as museums, pubs, shops and markets entice you away from the wintry world outside.

Why not spend some time in Fremantle’s many museums, lost in the mesmerising world of yesteryear? The Shipwreck Galleries are particularly fascinating, rich in tales of maritime triumph and tragedy. The WA Maritime Museum, Army Museum, Fremantle Arts Centre and History Museum, the Roundhouse and the Energy Museum are also on offer here.

Similarly intriguing is the Fremantle Prison - one of Western Australia's premier heritage attractions - where you can ‘step inside and do time’. The Prison was built by convicts in the 1850s and was used continually as a place of incarceration and punishment for almost 140 years. Visitors can explore the Prison’s fascinating history on an entertaining Prison Day Tour, Tunnel Tour adventure or spooky Torchlight Tour – each offering fascinating insights into the hardships that prisoners once endured here.

Or perhaps shopping is more your thing. Then head to High Street to stock up on winter fashions in one of the funky designer stores – think rich fabrics, jackets, boots and stylish accessories.

Then, of course, there’s the food. Just imagine yourself tucking into warming foods and steaming coffee on the famous cappuccino strip, watching the world go by. Or perhaps you’d prefer to be tucked away in the corner of a historic hotel, sharing a drink with friends or maybe warming yourself by a fire.

Or what about taking the whole family? Rug up warm and head to the Fishing Boat Harbour to enjoy fish and chips on the boardwalk. Then treat the family to a trip to the weekend markets and see what quirky treasures you can find.

When it comes to accommodation you’ll find a range almost as diverse as the city itself. Try a stylish hotel  to really live it up or indulge in the home comforts of a bed and breakfast tucked away amid the historic streets  - ideal ways to escape the winter blues and truly unwind.
