As the cosmopolitan capital of South Australia, Adelaide is a chic coastal city with lively food, wine, art, and shopping scenes along with world-class events. Within the city, visitors and locals alike enjoy a range of activities and attractions including museums, galleries, festivals, and sporting events, while the city’s prime location offers easy access to the water, desert, and countryside. Whether you want to shop the Central Market, swim with dolphins in the bay, or wind your way through the wineries in the nearby valleys, this bustling metropolis is jam-packed with places to go and things to do.
Though relatively small for a major city, Adelaide boasts a collection of distinct districts, each offering a unique environment with plenty of exciting things to do.
Central Market/Chinatown — Taste the best South Australian and Asian eats at this mecca of meat, cheese, and produce. The historic Central Market is a hub of both contemporary dining and traditional cafes, while next door in Chinatown you’ll find a community of passionate artisans and traders. Spreading west from the markets, Adelaide’s densest strip of Asian culinary options features Chinese, Japanese, Malaysian, and Vietnamese eateries.
City Southwest — A quieter neighborhood with Whitmore Square at its center, City Southwest is a community known for its environmental and social activism. Here, find a small but thriving collection of local cafes, hotels, and bars with a focus on sustainability.
Cultural Precinct/Riverbank — Along the main drag of North Terrace is where you’ll find the city’s most iconic cultural institutions, including the Art Gallery of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, and the State Library of South Australia. Sitting along the bank of the River Torrens are also important art venues such as the Adelaide Festival Centre and the Dunstan Playhouse.
East End/Rundell Street — In the East End, quirky independent retail mixes with high-end fashion and some of the city’s best restaurants, cafes, and bars. The atmosphere is hip and vibrant, with locals waking up to the aroma of fresh coffee and winding down with a craft cocktail or glass of fine wine. Connecting Rundle and Union streets, the car-free laneway of Ebenezer Place is an artisan oasis offering some of the city’s most unique shopping experiences.
Hutt Street — Nestled in the southeast of Adelaide with lush parks on each end, this “village in the city” is a flourishing strip of award-winning restaurants, quality cafes, and gourmet supermarkets. The tree-lined street is a charming blend of residential and commercial, with more than 60 percent of its businesses operating independently.
O’Connell Street — This stylish street in North Adelaide dates its architectural origins back to the 1830s. Among cute cottages and graceful homes, historic buildings house high-end furniture stores, English-style pubs, and a range of eateries from fast food to upscale bistros.
Rundle Mall — Rundle Mall, at the heart of the Central Business District, is the city’s premier shopping destination. Following a recent $30 million refurbishing, the beautiful pedestrian mall boasts more than 700 retailers offering the latest in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and food.
West End — Lying just to the west of Rundle Mall, the West End has a history as a post-war entertainment hub which lives on in its high concentration of music venues and dance clubs. Once known as the seedier side of town, the University of South Australia’s West End campus has transformed the area into a fresh and dynamic destination, with progressive cultural institutions and events including the Jam Factory, the SASA Gallery, and the Adelaide Feast Queer Festival.
Immerse yourself in the colonial elegance of Adelaide with a stroll by the stunning historic buildings that line North Terrace.
