Penrith City Council is proud to announce the release of its Penrith Visitor Guide - the ultimate resource for exploring everything our vibrant, adventure-filled City has to offer.

"With the new Western Sydney International Airport set to open in 2026, we're preparing to welcome more visitors than ever before.

The Visitor Guide is a key part of that strategy, helping us showcase Penrith as a destination of choice.
"Whether you're visiting for a major event, enjoying a weekend escape, or simply discovering new places in your own backyard, the Visitor Guide is packed with inspiration to help you make the most of your time in Penrith," Cr Carney said.
The guide features themed itineraries, local insights and curated recommendations across key experience areas:
- Outdoor adventures and adrenaline-filled attractions

- Dining destinations, including vibrant precincts and hidden gems
- Accommodation options to suit every type of traveller.
It also provides practical information on how to get here, where to stay and what to see and do, making it an essential companion for anyone planning a trip to Penrith.
"Penrith is a fantastic destination with something for everyone," Cr Carney said. "This guide not only showcases our strengths - from adventure and nature to arts and food - but also reminds us of the incredible experiences right here in our City."
