Adelaide Botanic Garden: Established in 1857 and spread over a massive 51 hectares, this garden is one of the most impressive in Australia. The Palm House, Rose Garden and Bicentennial Conservatory are highlights.
Adelaide Central Market: This is one of Australia’s largest fresh produce markets, and the most popular attraction in South Australia, with around 8 million visitors every year. Needless to say, it’s the perfect place for lunch.
Adelaide Zoo: Adelaide Zoo is Australia’s second oldest (after Melbourne), and displays over 300 native and exotic species, most notably Sumatran tigers and giant pandas.
National Wine Centre: Surrounded by the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills wine regions, Adelaide is one of the 10 wine capitals of the world. You can learn all about the state’s famous produce at the National Wine Centre.

What are the best streets to stay in Adelaide CBD?
North Terrace: The northern border of the CBD is home to Adelaide’s most impressive buildings, and overlooks the beautiful River Torrens and surrounding parklands.
King William Road: Cutting the CBD in half, King William Road runs north-south through Adelaide, working its way around Victoria Square in the centre.
South Terrace: The CBD’s southern border is far more tranquil than its north. Overlooking wide expanses of greenery, if you want a really good night’s sleep in the city then this is your best bet.
Grenfell Street: One street back from the iconic Rundle Mall, Grenfell Street is the perfect base for shopaholics who also want to be within striking distance of Adelaide’s main attractions.

What is the best way to get around Adelaide CBD?
At one square mile (1.6 square kilometres), the best way to explore the Adelaide CBD is on foot, as you’ll stumble across sights and experiences that you otherwise wouldn’t if you were taking transport from point to point. When walking isn’t an option, try:
Public transport: Adelaide’s network of buses, trains and trams are easy to use and pay for: you can tap and pay with your bank card, use the Adelaide Metro Buy & Go app, or use the contactless metroCARD.
Private transport: If you prefer private transport over public, rideshare apps are always the safest choice. Uber is available in Adelaide, or you can hail a local cab. Always ensure that taxis are legitimate before hopping in.
