Best Landmarks & Things to Do in Fremantle

Fremantle is Australia's best-preserved 19th-century port city. The World Heritage-listed Fremantle Prison, the Round House — Western Australia's oldest public building — the Fremantle Markets and the limestone streetscapes of the West End make "Freo" a landmark district in its entirety. Its maritime and convict history is unmatched in the west, and every landmark below is ranked by visitor ratings.

At the top of the Fremantle list sit Fremantle Markets, Fremantle Prison and WA Shipwrecks Museum. Fremantle Markets (4.4/5 from 17,814 reviews) is the city's most reviewed landmark, making it the natural first stop for most visitors. Further down the rankings you will find The Round House and Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre, each with its own ratings breakdown on its landmark page.

By type, Fremantle's landmarks are dominated by historic sites, museums, markets, parks and gardens. Each category links through to a national list — useful if you are touring Western Australia and want to compare, say, every lookout or historic site along your route rather than just the ones in Fremantle.

Beyond the famous names, Fremantle holds some under-visited standouts. Whalers Tunnel (4.6/5 from 47 reviews), Fremantle Prison Gatehouse (4.8/5 from 44 reviews) and Victoria Hall (4.6/5 from 20 reviews) all earn strong ratings from a smaller pool of reviewers — the kind of places locals rate highly but most itineraries skip. If you have already covered the top five, these are where the city's quieter rewards hide.
