With its location in the city center, St. George’s Cathedral is easy to visit during a day of sightseeing. Some city tours and CBD walking tours pass by the cathedral, which sits near other attractions such as Stirling Gardens, Government House, Perth Concert Hall, and the State Buildings. Opt for a private city tour that you can customize if you want to make sure the cathedral is a stop on your itinerary.
The cathedral is located on St. George’s Terrace between Barrack Street and Victoria Avenue. It’s a 10-minute walk from the Perth Underground Station or the Barrack Street Jetty, making it easy to access via train and ferry.
The cathedral is open from morning to evening, with prayer services and Eucharist taking place every morning and early afternoon on weekdays and every Saturday morning (there are holiday exceptions). On Sundays, services take place in the morning and evening. Musical events such as a chamber music series and organ concerts take place throughout the year.
The cathedral is just a couple of blocks from the Swan River waterfront, so don’t miss the chance to explore Elizabeth Quay, the Bell Tower, and other attractions before or after your visit to the cathedral. Get a drink or bite to eat at one of the eateries near the jetty, or hop on the ferry to South Perth to visit attractions such as the Perth Zoo.
