FREMANTLE, WEST AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN NAMED ONE OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST PLACES IN 2022 - Fremantle has been named one of the World's Greatest Places in 2022 by leading US news, TIME Magazine.

The annual World's Greatest Places list highlights 50 extraordinary travel destinations around the world.

To compile the list, TIME solicited nominations of places—including countries, regions, cities, and towns—from its international network of correspondents and contributors, with an eye toward those offering new and exciting experiences.

The magazine describes Fremantle as bustling with food and drink openings and highlights our reimagined city center Walyalup Koort.

Acting Mayor Frank Mofflin said inclusion on the World's Greatest Places list was a reminder of how important Fremantle is for tourism in Perth and WA.

“Fremantle has always been blessed to have popular attractions such as Fremantle Prison, Fremantle Markets, Fishing Boat Harbour, the famous Cappuccino Strip, and the historic West End,” Cr Mofflin said.

“But recently there have been so many other great places opening up in Freo, including the new FOMO precinct at Walyalup Koort and a whole range of exciting new bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues.

“Throughout the COVID pandemic the City of Fremantle has been working hard to keep Freo top of mind for visitors through our This Is Fremantle campaign and other marketing activities, and we're continuing to do so now the borders are open again.

It's not the first time a major international publication has rated Fremantle as one of the world's must-see destinations. In 2016, Freo was named as one of the world's top ten tourism cities by the influential international travel guide Lonely Planet.

The full of TIME World's Greatest Places list will be featured in the July 25, 2022, double issue of TIME, available on newsstands on Friday, July 15.
