About Adelaide

Adelaide, South Australia's elegant capital, is laid out around leafy parklands and a grid of wide colonial-era streets, with a packed calendar of food, wine and arts festivals throughout the year. The Central Market overflows with fresh produce, and the city makes an easy base for day trips into the Barossa and Adelaide Hills wine regions just beyond its edges.
