Rather quiet in comparison to the other Australian cities.
In a nutshell
australia's most boring city, sorry folks!
33 Reviews Glenelg is Adelaide's most popular beachside suburb and is a must see for most visitors. I spent a pleasant afternoon there, but more than the beach I liked the fascinating history of the town. This is where the colony of South Australia was born! It is the oldest settlement on South Australian...
16 Reviews Hahndorf is the oldest German community in Australia. It is now a a tourist attraction with old buildings reflecting the early architecture of the community. Craft shops galore: foods, leathers, wood working, fabric etc. About 45 - 50 minutes on a local bus for just $4. Certainly worth a visit.
1 Review and 213 Opinions Okay Hotel with average everything. Rooms are spacious and modern with all the facilities required....
1 Review and 40 Opinions Indeed, this hostel was voted the best hostel in Australia by a German travel website that has...
5 Reviews Piattos is our favourite place to eat in Adelaide. We have been going here for years. The food is always great and the service is friendly. Specializing in traditional Italian as well as modern cuisine, the menu and bar is extensive. We love to eat out doors in the summer and do a spot of people...
3 Reviews Ding Hao stays open late and they don't give you that strange look if you eat alone. The food is fresh and the speed which the food arrive is impressive. The quality and quantity is rather appreciative. The service is good, without being too fussy or bored stand offish. An exception is main dinner...
7 Reviews The Cavern Club on North Terrace. Adelaide has some great music venues, but this isn't one of them. Drinks are overpriced, service is slow, there's no drinks on tap, so you have to buy the expensive beers. The men's toilets are a joke.
6 Reviews The Stag usually has a good band on Friday and Saturday nights in their downstairs bar area. With no covercharge and casual attire permitted, its a great place to go for a night out! Upstairs has a DJ playing 'doof doof' and techno music in case you are into that. No requirements, but always best...
24 Reviews As the name "Central" suggests , the Adelaide Central Bus Station is the main coach terminal in Adelaide and is located conveniently at 85 Franklin Street, Adelaide an easy walk to shopping and accommodation options. All interstate and country coaches depart from and arrive at this terminal. The...
12 Reviews This is rather a difficult tip to write because this train is not just a mode of transport - it is a Thing To Do itself, and it was a big dream of mine to go on this train - it was very special when it came true in 2009 and I left Adelaide by Indian Pacific and went to Perth. I am fascinated by long...
18 Reviews Every major city in Australia has 1 street devoted to shopping therapy. Here in Adelaide, it's Rundle Mall, created in 1976 and named after John Rundle. A concentration of tourist information booths, boutiques, departmental stores, drug stores, CD stores, shoe stores, bookstores, post office,...
8 Reviews Central markets are - as the name says - located in the centre of Adelaide, near Victoria Square. You really can find all the food here that you can imagine. An abundance of delicious things mostly grown in the area. It is great to stroll around and see all the colours, buy a little fruit and...
8 Reviews Only a fool would tip in Australia. It is not required and not expected. Perhaps people in the tourist industry would act as though it is expected...but wages here are not calculated to take account of tipping as they would be in some countries.
5 Reviews IN Adelaide? You are more likely to be a victim of Adelaide's terrible drivers ;-) or ripped off than be hurt by Adelaide's creatures or other natural dangers. Some that people talk about are Octopus The blue ringed octopus is very small and highly toxic. The do live in coastal areas around...
4 Reviews Here in Adelaide South Australia we are experiencing a phenomena of 'Extreme Weather'! We are living through the hottest and longest heatwave ever recorded - one can't help but think about global warming. Last Summer we endured 15 days straight when the weather was 38 degrees celcius or above. This...
7 Reviews I really advise you to take some warm clothing. Don't think: "This is Australia and it will be hot!" Indeed, I had some warm days while I stayed in Adelaide, but when there were clouds, it got cold very fast and I was even wearing my thick fleece jacket although it was summer! The same goes for the...
10 Reviews Some years ago, I was a huge fan of the Australian TV series McLeod's Daughters. It is a series about two very odd sisters who, after the death of their father, undertake it to run the family farm in rural South Australia together. Of course there are many difficulties, adventures, love interests...
11 Reviews This is a great hike to do when you are in Adelaide. It starts at Waterfall Gully carpark where there is a large waterfall and as you continue up the trail there is a second waterfall. The cappark is quite small and a lot of people get there very early (around 7am). I got to the car park around...
4 Reviews It's a museum for the great Aussie cricketer, Sir Don Bradman. If you want to learn more about this venerated man (almost God-like in Australia), then pop over to this shrine/museum which houses the late Sir Don's memorabila and focuses on his sporting prowess. footleg
1 Review Clipsal 500 is one of the best supercar events ever!!!! Its the V8 supercars and its an awesome street circuit. Adelaide becomes alive when the V8s come to town.Its a fantastic time to visit. next years race is held from 23-26th March and there are tickets ranging from general admission ($125.00)...
19 Reviews Every city has it's rich area or street. The first 2 photo's I attached are from the richest street of Adelaide. The other 2 photo's I attached are from the house of the tennis player Lleyton Hewitt (bought it for $3.2 million).
4 Reviews If you love the beach, take the time to go to at least one of these beaches rather than the tourist beach, Glenelg: Moana, Christies Beach, Port Noarlunga, Port Willunga, Aldinga, Silver Sands and Victor Harbour. Glenelg is great for people watching but these beaches have far less people, and nicer...

Here is where I'd live in Australia
Adelaide just seems to be a place that "works". That could be the result of meticulous planning. New Yorker Magazine once described this lovelyl capital of South Australia as being "possibly the last...

Adelaide seems to be overlooked by a lot of visitors to Australia, which is such a shame. The city itself is small, but as a “base” it offers so much. We were there for 2 weeks and used it to go to......

Adelaide is a feast in every way. Its a facinating blend of the old and new, relaxed, muted and entirely original. Side walk cafe culture is part of its charm - in fact its said there are more...
