FREMANTLE MARKETS
Fremantle
– WALYALUP
IN FREMANTLE / WALYALUP, BECOME CAPTIVATED BY A SPIRITED MARITIME CITY
RADIATING CULTURE AND CHARACTER.
THERE’S SOMETHING IN the air of
Fremantle that sends a ripple of
creativity, culture, and connection
pulsing through the streets.
Perhaps it’s the salty westerly
blowing in from the portside; wafts
of incense, freshly roasted coffee
and sweet honey cake mingling in
the markets; the sound of buskers
performing with soul, or the roar
of punters echoing beyond beer
gardens as the ‘Freo’ Dockers
score an epic goal. Whatever it
may be, discover it for yourself
when you get lost in this diverse
and charismatic destination.

Affectionately known as the
‘Cappuccino Strip’, South Terrace
has a distinct Italian influence and
has long been a favourite for dining
and entertainment options as cafés,
restaurants, games, arcades and
pubs abound. Take time to walk
from South Terrace through Market
Street to discover endless boutiques
filled with shoes, books, local fashion
labels and artisan goods.
Off the Cappuccino Strip, you’ll
find the enchanting and iconic
Fremantle Markets. Having first
opened in 1897, the Victorian era
markets are abuzz with activity
from Friday to Sunday with over
150 stalls offering fresh produce,
jewellery, fashion, and craft wares.
Stay close at the heritage Warders
Hotel (soon to be expanded and
renamed to Garde) where you’ll
find the Asian inspired Emily Taylor
restaurant and quaint Gimlet bar.
