ADELAIDE

Adelaide

Adelaide is a so much more than a gateway to some of Australia’s best wine. It’s a city which is passionate about good food, and visitors will be spoilt for choice when it comes to amazing dining options. Rundle Street in Adelaide’s east end includes a mix of historic pubs and family-run cafes and restaurants. Dine alfresco, morning, noon and night. Five minutes away, Norwood Parade is famously European influenced while Gouger Street, which is close to Chinatown and the Adelaide Central Market, is crammed with good Asian restaurants. 

It’s also a sports city. Home to the iconic Adelaide Oval, arguably the most picturesque ground in the world. If you’d rather play than watch, grab a bat and ball and head to one of the lovely city beaches for a game on the sand – you’ll probably be joined by some friendly locals eager to recreate the Aussie/England rivalry! 

Other great Adelaide pastimes include taking a tram to Glenelg to swim with dolphins, enjoying one of the many vibrant events the city plays host to, and taking a trip out to the nearby vineyards. On a visit to Adelaide you’ll live the good life.

Things to do

Tee Off
When it comes to golf, head out onto one of Adelaide’s great golf courses – there are five international-class golf courses within a 30 minute drive of the city. Some of our favourites include Links Lady Bay on the Fleurieu Peninsula just outside of Adelaide and the Royal Adelaide Club at Seaton which has played host to the Women’s Australian Open, and the Grange Golf Club.
Private R.M. Williams Tour
Go behind the scenes and learn about R.M.Williams’ journey from swagman to millionaire, paying a visit to the workshop which still creates the iconic Chelsea-style boots today. Have a personal fitting of your very own Craftsman boots and visit the R.M.Williams museum.
Adelaide Hills
Just a 20 minute drive from the vineyard city of Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills is home to lots of boutique wineries and artisan producers. Enjoy long lunches and tastings in atmospheric wine cellars, and explore the local craft breweries and gin distillers set in stunning countryside teeming with native wildlife.
NATIONAL PARK CITY
Adelaide is one of the few cities in the world which has been designated National Park City status. Its commitment to being greener, wilder and cooler is evidenced in the amazing park lands, hills, beaches and conservation areas in and around the city. Teeming with native wildlife Adelaide is best explored on foot, by two wheels or out on the water. New e-bike adventures along the river, paddle boarding at the beach and walking tours led by expert guides introduce you to the laidback lifestyle the locals enjoy year-round.
HOP OVER TO KANGAROO ISLAND
Kangaroo Island, just a 30 minute flight from Adelaide, is home to all the big hitting Aussie wildlife and makes for a great break between Lions tour matches. Whether you’re swimming with pods of wild dolphins, spotting sealions lazing on the sand at Seal Bay, fishing off one of the many beaches, wildlife touring with a local field guide in the national park, or indulging in the island produce you’re guaranteed a very special few days.
BEAUTIFUL BAROSSA
The Barossa is one of the world’s most famous wine regions and just an hours’ drive from Adelaide - one of the Great Wine Capitals of the World. A visit here is a must for any England fan wanting to taste some of Australia’s best vintages. Book a day’s touring with a local guide to uncover under-the-radar gems as well as enjoying access to some of the big hitting brands. A glass of Shiraz, paired with some delicious local cheeses as kangaroos play in the vines, never tasted so good. If you have more time continue north to enjoy time spent in the Ikara-Flinders National Park – a stunning outback region with amazing hiking, mountain biking and cultural touring experiences.
CAGE SHARK DIVE DOWN UNDER
The Eyre Peninsula, a 45 minute flight from Adelaide, is one of the few places in the world you can cage dive with Great White Sharks.
