Fremantle is a port city
settled at southwest of Perth and many heritage buildings in the city are still
remained until today.
Commonly, visitors who come to Fremantle will try a
meal of locally and freshly caught seafood, typically 'Fish & Chips'. I
tried it once with my friend Cloud at Cicerello's which is located at 44
Mews Road, Fishing Boat Harbour. We're overlooking the Fishing Boat Harbour
while enjoying the meal.

If you like chocolate, then
visit Fremantle Chocolate
shop should be in your visiting list too. It's located at Atwell Arcade, Corner
Market & Cantonment Streets. Many chocolate items sold in the shop are
award-winning products and there's free tastings of milk, white and dark
chocolate offered for all patrons. It's a great option to scout for souvenirs
for friends, family or yourself. Even if you're not intend to buy any bar or
box of chocolate, you may just pick from the individual unique pieces of
chocolate. I tasted two of them which cost $1.50 each, not bad!
I took a free CAT bus to
visit Fremantle Arts Centre and Army Museum of WA. Fremantle Art Centre is
built in a historical premise but there're not too many artworks displayed in
the art centre, so I didn't spend as much time as I used to spend in other art
galleries throughout other cities.

Just a short distance from the city centre, there's another interesting tourist attraction which made Fremantle popular and that is the Round House. The Round House was used from the year 1831 to 1886 for the purpose to hold criminal person. In fact, the building is claimed as the most historical public building in Western Australia. The building is open for public every day from 10.30am – 3.30pm and free admission.
