- National Anzac Centre (Mount Clarence) — Powerful, well-curated museum right where ANZAC troops looked back at King George Sound before leaving for WWI; the views over the harbour make the story hit harder than a book ever could.
- Albany Historic Whaling Station (Frenchman Bay) — A working museum on the waterfront with restored buildings, artifacts and whale-story context that’s hard to find anywhere else; you can smell the ocean and imagine the old industry while walking the clifftop trails.
- Albany Convict Gaol (Old Gaol) — Compact, atmospheric convict-era jail with original cells and great interpretive displays; a short visit gives a clear picture of early colonial hardship and lawkeeping in the region.
- Old Farm, Strawberry Hill (National Trust) — Quiet colonial homestead and gardens

- Old Farm, Strawberry Hill (National Trust) — Quiet colonial homestead and gardens tucked into town fringes; the heritage buildings, orchards and native plantings are a lovely, contemplative slice of early settlement life.
- Stirling Terrace & the Historic Town Centre — A stroll down Stirling Terrace (and York Street) is like walking a living postcard: Victorian facades, little cafes, pubs and boutique shops that show Albany’s 19th-century prosperity.
- Middleton Beach & Ellen Cove Boardwalk — Sheltered sand, cafes and a smooth coastal walk that’s perfect for swimming, sunset watching or a relaxed picnic; it’s the town’s beach scene distilled and easy to reach.
- Mount Melville Reserve & Lookout — Short, real walks through native bush to panoramic lookouts over town and King George Sound; great for sunrise, a quick bush escape, and spotting local birds.
- Albany Wind Farm — Big coastal turbines with easy walking tracks and one of the best vantage points for wide ocean views and sunsets; surprisingly peaceful and very photogenic without needing a guided tour.
- Albany Waterfront & Port Precinct — Active harbourfront with historic wharves, seafood vendors, galleries and maritime interpretive signs; the foreshore vibe captures the town’s working-port history and present-day life.
- Garrison Cemetery & Pioneer Memorials — Small, moving burial ground and memorial sites that tell personal stories of early settlers, sailors and soldiers; quiet, reflective and full of local history details you won’t find in guidebooks.
