Adelaide

Adelaide is dynamic and inspiring, cultured and warm. Stylish, yet casual; artistic, but very down-to-earth. It’s large enough to be cosmopolitan yet compact enough to avoid big-city congestion, inconvenience – and cost. Renowned across Australia as being the festival city, Adelaide’s appreciation of the arts goes hand in hand with a penchant for good food and fine wine.

There is plenty to discover in Adelaide – here are just some of the wonderful things on offer:

South Australian Museum

The South Australian Museum offers visitors five floors of exhibits that reveal many fascinating stories. Exhibitions and displays reflect the museum’s extensive collections, including the Australian Aboriginal and Pacific Cultures collections. The Ancient Egyptian Room has been a favourite destination for generations of museum visitors, and the Giant Squid is always a winner with children and adults alike.

Markets and eat streets

The Adelaide Central Market is unique. There is so much fruit, meat, vegetables and gourmet produce. It’s undercover and simply sensational.

Gouger Street is one of Adelaide’s bustling restaurant strips. The choice is enormous. There’s plenty more on offer in Rundle Street. There are many pubs and more than 100 restaurants in Adelaide city alone.

Adelaide Botanic Garden

The Adelaide Botanic Garden is an oasis in the cosmopolitan heart of the city. This 16-hectare historical garden features stunning collections of plants including Australian natives, exotics and ornamental plants. To make the most of your time, stop by the Visitor Information Centre and find out what is happening at the garden and which plant collections are looking their best.
