Adelaide in a nutshell

Soak Up The Culture

Known as the City of Churches, there are plenty of religious buildings where you can lap up the history, such as St. Peter’s Cathedral, built between 1869 and 1904, and St. Francis Xavier’s Cathedral, which took 138 years to complete!

The Art Gallery of South Australia is home to an extensive visual art collection and one of the most important Indigenous art collections in the country. You'll also find works by artists and cultures from around the world, such as Europe, North America and Asia. Free tours take place daily.

Kangaroo Island is a brilliant day trip for animal lovers wanting the chance to see Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. More than a third of the island is made up of nature reserves that protect its abundant wildlife. Take a guided tour and spot native koalas, wallabies, echidnas, sea lions and penguins as well as the island's namesake, the kangaroo. There are some fantastic wineries and breweries, plus a mini golf course here too.

Tastes To Try

The award-winning Luma Restaurant at The Playford Hotel is a true playground of authentically Australian fare with European kicks. Make sure you head here for breakfast, where you will be greeted by buffets. Organic and free-range produce are used where possible so you can enjoy a sin-free meal.

Italian cuisine is top of the menu at Chianti. The award-winning venue offers traditional dishes full of flavour matching the décor perfectly. Just a 10-minute drive away from many of the five-star hotels, you’d be a fool to miss this culinary gem.

Georges on Waymouth is a plethora of Mediterranean and European flavours served delicately and superbly using fresh seasonal produce. The stylish venue lends itself nicely to fine dining dinner dates and business meetings too.

If you fancy whipping up your own meals or want to discover local produce, make sure you swing by Adelaide Central Market. Established in 1869, it's home to over 70 traders selling a range of seasonal produce and delicious street food. It's open from Tuesday to Saturday.

Family Fun Guaranteed

Adelaide Zoo is the second-oldest zoo in Australia, opening in 1883. The non-profit is dedicated to wildlife conservation, and you can meet some of the country's most iconic animals as well as exotic species like giraffes and pygmy hippos. Make sure you book in advance, as you can expect it to be busy during the summer months.

Chocoholics will be in their element at Haigh's Chocolate Factory close to the centre of Adelaide. You might even be able to sample some of the delights, just to make sure they are consumable, of course.

Those with kids aged eight and above can challenge themselves to a RoofClimb of the Adelaide Oval. Securely harnessed, you'll scale the roof of the stadium and get unparalleled 360-degree views of the city. It's best suited to those with a head for heights!
