Things to Do in Adelaide

Hindlay Street is to Adelaide what King’s Cross is to Sydney – raucous, rowdy and open late. Get a bite to eat on nearby Rundle Street before the action gets going.

The Adelaide Fringe, tantalizingly, only comes around every two years. But its array of outstanding comedy acts, theater and other cultural and arts ‘happenings’ are well worth the wait.

One of the very best things about traveling the cities of Australia is you’re never too far from a beach. And Adelaide’s no exception. What’s more, there are plenty of outstanding bars and restaurants along the seafront. Just hop on the tram in the city center and you’re there.

Adelaide is surrounded by fantastic vineyards and wine growing areas. One of the best, Barossa Valley, is only about an hour and a half away and has a number of well-established wineries that lay on tasting tours.

It may be a fair distance from Adelaide itself, but Kangaroo Island (one of the country’s largest islands) is a truly unique experience. Studded with remarkable rock formations, the seal and penguin colonies are fascinating, and the diving’s great, too.
