A Day Out in Penrith
Begin your day in Penrith with a delicious, relaxing breakfast at one of the town’s many cafes. After, head for Penrith Regional Gallery, a gorgeous space with an impressive collection of art and other objects of interest. Check the website ahead of your visit to see if there are any special exhibitions on.
Stroll Penrith’s Great River Walk
After a morning taking in some art and culture, stretch your legs with a stroll along the Great River Walk, a seven-kilometre walking track linking the bridges in Penrith and Emu Plains. Along the way, you’ll be treated to pleasant views of the countryside and wildlife.
Cruise through to lunch
After working up an appetite on a walk, jump on board the Nepean Belle paddlewheeler for lunch, before sitting back and cruising along the beautiful Nepean River. If you’re feeling in need of a drink, head to Sun Masamune, Australia’s only sake factory. Here you can take a tour before buying a drop for the road.
Shopping and a show
For a spot of shopping, walk along Penrith’s bustling High Street where you’ll find all manner of shops. After, if an evening performance tickles your fancy, head for the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre. Be sure to check the website to see what's on – and always book ahead.
If a performance isn’t what you’re after, end your day enjoying the spectacular views of mountains and Penrith Lakes, at the Lakeside Restaurant. Here you’ll find a menu packed with fresh, local produce, all lovingly prepared and made to please.
