Our tips for Adelaide

Top tipple. Adelaide day trips to the historic Barossa Valley are truly spectacular, and a must-do for visitors to the region. Just over 50km from the city, trying some of the world’s finest locally produced wine is one of the best things to do in Adelaide.
Hop to Kangaroo Island. Within day-tripping distance of Adelaide, this beautiful island is worth the excursion. On this Adelaide day tour, you’ll see an abundance of Australian wildlife in their natural habitats including sea lions, kangaroos (obviously), wombats, echidnas, dolphins and more.
Eat up. Locals know (and love) their food, so you’ll find plenty of amazing restaurants and cafes to park yourself. Sweet tooths should head to the Haigh’s Chocolate Factory on Greenhill Road. One of the best Adelaide tours, visitors revel in the chance to see one of Australia’s favourite chocolates being made.

Good to know

Adelaide, intentionally designed in 1836 by Colonel William Light, was the first city in Australia to adopt a grid layout, resulting in an easily navigable and explorable urban landscape featuring wide streets and expansive public squares. Referred to as the "Festival City," Adelaide hosts numerous cultural events and festivals throughout the year, including the Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Fringe, WOMADelaide, and the Santos Tour Down Under, all of which attract visitors from around the world. Known for its lush greenery and exceptional cleanliness, Adelaide has earned the moniker "City of Parks" due to its greater per capita green space than any other Australian city, exemplified by the Adelaide Botanic Garden and the Adelaide Park Lands.
