West End Fremantle

The West End is distinctly Fremantle's heritage district, with its exceptionally well-preserved nineteenth-century port-city townscape and architecture and has recently been included in Western Australia's State Register of Heritage Places.

At the top of the West End, you'll find the exquisitely restored National Hotel with its beautiful balconies. It's a great place to stop and enjoy the atmosphere of Fremantle. Don't miss the rooftop bar for 360 degree views.

Take your time to wander down High Street and explore some of the boutiques, galleries and gift stores. Vintage shops, bookstores, boutiques and the wonderful Japingka Aboriginal Art Gallery are just a few of the places to stop and visit along the way. You'll also find a variety of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Steps up to the Round House, Western Australia's oldest building dating back to 1831 when it was built as a jail, reveal the most amazing view of Fremantle and the Indian Ocean and lead you to explore the Bather's Beach Art Precinct along Captain's Lane, Fleet Street and Bather's Beach - Fremantle's secret beach.

The West End precinct is a short walk from Fremantle bus and train station.
