WA Road Trip: Fremantle

Fremantle is a popular coastal city that is just a thirty minutes drive away from Perth City. Dropping by Fremantle or “Freo” for short, is a must-do for almost anyone visiting Western Australia. Attractions include the Fremantle Prison, Fremantle Market, E-Shed Market and the famous fish and chips at the harbour. We visited Kailis in 2011 and Cicerello later in 2015; we preferred Cicerello!

Fremantle Market is a weekend market that is comprised of two halls. The first hall is made up of a number of stores selling souvenirs, toys and other touristy stuff. The second hall is made up of food stalls and fresh fruits and vegetables stalls. It is a lively place to walk around in but do take note that parking is limited and expensive. Fremantle market

E-Shed Market, a short drive away from the Fremantle Market, is open on weekends as well. This whole place is almost entirely made up of stalls selling souvenir which are much cheaper than those found in Fremantle Market.

We stumbled on this lighthouse on our 2015 trip, lovely place with scenic views but very very windy!Lighthouse.jpgWe also visited Fremantle Prison and did two tours, each lasting about an hour. The tour guide made the content entertaining and fun to listen to.Fremantle prison 2Fremantle prison
