The easy way in
...
Getting to the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre is easy. If you're not driving, there are many transport options that bring you to the door of the centre - or at least a short stroll away.
Walking
Feel like some
fresh air and the opportunity to enjoy Perth's fabulous weather? The PCEC is located next to the Swan River and its many walking paths. From South Perth, the Perth Convention Exhibition Centre is a 20-minute stroll over the Narrows Bridge. From Perth's Central Business District, the PCEC is between a 5-minute and 15-minute walk, depending on your starting point. And from West Perth, just walk down King's Park Road and onto St Georges Terrace before heading down to the PCEC (see Location Map).
Cycling
Perth's cycle paths are superb and intersect the city area from all directions.
