Ground directionsMake a day of it
Plan your St Johnstone away day
McDiarmid Park sits apart from central Perth, so the best plan is either a direct stadium trip or a city-centre start followed by a timed bus, taxi or walk along Crieff Road.

Drive direct
Arrive early for limited official parking or reserve a private space outside the busiest stadium exits.
Stay overnight
Choose central Perth for restaurants and the station, or a western hotel for simple A9 access.
A sensible 3pm plan
11:30 - arrive in central Perth and confirm the return route.
12:00-13:15 - use The Sandeman, Foundry or another mapped central choice after checking admission.
13:30 - take a bus or taxi, or begin the 35-40 minute walk.
17:00 - let the immediate stadium traffic thin before committing to a tight connection.
Food and pubs
The St Johnstone pub map marks the Muirton Lounge as away-friendly only when advertised for the fixture, keeps central pubs as check-first and identifies Perth city centre as the broad fallback.
Things to do
Perth Museum, Perth Art Gallery and the River Tay are easy additions for rail visitors. Scone Palace suits an overnight or driving trip but needs more time and separate transport.
Hotels near McDiarmid Park
Leonardo Boutique Hotel Huntingtower Perth is the closest full-service option west of the stadium. Holiday Inn Express Perth and Travelodge Perth A9 are practical for drivers near the A9.
Perth city-centre hotels
Premier Inn Perth City Centre, Mercure Perth Hotel and Salutation Hotel keep the station, restaurants and central pubs close at hand.
Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 17 September 2026.
