Downtown
Heritage shopfronts with upstairs offices, warehouses overlooking narrow streets, churches and Victorian sporting pavilions are a reminder of the city’s strategic importance during the 19th century gold rush. THIS IS FREMANTLE'S DOWNTOWN.
The downtown area borders Market Street and the West End heritage precinct, Walyalup Koort, Esplanade Reserve and Fishing Boat Harbour and the southern neighbourhoods including Wray Avenue and South Fremantle.
Visitors, workers, university students and locals arrive into the centre through the beautiful federation classic style arches of Fremantle Bus and Train Station, which opened in 1881, and sits between the Waterfront and the town.
