About Perth City Centre
Perth City Centre is the dynamic cultural and commercial hub of Scotland's former capital. The medieval street layout centres on the historic High Street and South Inch, whilst Georgian townhouses and Victorian buildings testify to Perth's prosperity as a major trading town. St John's Kirk dominates the skyline, and the City Centre offers excellent shopping on the main streets and in modern precincts.
Visitors will find the South Inch park perfect for riverside strolls along the River Tay, with bridges offering views across the water towards surrounding hills. The town's many independent cafes, restaurants, and galleries reflect its lively creative scene. Marshall Place and Tay Street retain elegant 18th-century architecture, whilst the concert hall and theatres provide cultural venues. Perth remains the natural gateway to Perthshire's countryside, making it an ideal base for exploring the rural landscape beyond.
