Adelaide Travel Information

Adelaide, the capital of the state of South Australia, is Australia's fifth-largest city. Unlike many Australian cities, Adelaide was originally a planned town that is laid out on a grid. Though the city has seen a lot of development, the city center retains the original design. Adelaide's commitment to cultural and economic development has led to it being ranked as Australia's most livable city. Here are a few things you won't want to miss in Adelaide.

Wine and Dine

South Australia is Australia's top wine country, and Adelaide is a great place to sample the best it has to offer. Stroll down Jetty Road for a dining experience you won't forget. Looking out over the ocean, you are almost certain to see dolphins frolicking as you dine on fine world. Rundle Street and Gouger Street in the CBD also boast some of Adelaide's best restaurants.

Arts and Culture

Adelaide has art at its heart. As you meander along the North Terrace boulevard, you can see Australia's finest art collections in the Art Gallery of South Australia, enjoy learning about natural history at the South Australian Museum, and make a leisurely visit to the State Library. If you visit at the right time of year, don't miss the annual Adelaide Festival of the Arts, one of the world's premiere art celebrations.

Nature

Get close to nature at the Cleland Conservation Park where you can touch and feed native Australian wildlife, or visit the Adelaide zoo and see giant pandas Wang Wang and Fumi as well as 300 other animal species. After visiting the zoo, head down to the Botanic Garden for a lazy stroll under tree-lined paths.
