"Good stay, inclusive of breakfast and a nice open bar area able to use for work which was helpful because the room was extremely dark - a very small window overlooking a building so no natural light, not a room you could spend any time in other than to sleep."

Getting around Adelaide
Adelaide has a good public transportation system that is used by locals and tourists alike. Called the Adelaide Metro, the system takes in buses, trains and trams. Buy a metroCARD for a single journey, or a three-day metro card for three days of unlimited travel. The train network runs to some destinations outside the city, although renting a car is the best option if you are planning lots of daytrips.

Best time to visit
Discover the quiet side to Adelaide, avoid crowds and make savings on accommodations by visiting in shoulder season. Shoulder season comes twice a year, between March and May (which is fall in Australia) and between September and November (spring). Expect temperatures to be in the 60s F to 70s F (15 to 20 C) during the day, but bring a sweater or a light jacket for the evenings, which are cooler.

Top Destination
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Much was closed because of Corona but it is an easy city to see. The indigenous exhibits at the museum are great.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Cleland wildlife center is a great place to see koalas and kangaroos. It is possible to hold a koala, but you need to be there when it opens, as the day we were there they only allowed 7 "holds".
5/5 - Excellent

3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
I'm a bug city person but have family here so it's nice to visit for a couple of days. Come during Festival season and it's much more exciting.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
After visiting Sydney and Cairns on this Aussie trip, we like Adelaide the best. It’s a city but still laid back. Tons of free things to explore and enjoy. And the weather is milder.
