Adelaide Sights & Activities

Take a vacation in Adelaide Australia and you will enjoy many wonderful sights and experiences.

Pick up a map of Adelaide and either join a group tour of Adelaide or head down North Terrace in the centre of the city of Adelaide. Located along North Terrace you will discover the Adelaide Botanic Gardens - a popular oasis in the heart of the city. Enjoy the scent and beauty of the International Rose Garden and the Bicentennial Conservatory. Look back at the many spires of churches on the Adelaide horizon.

In the heart of the Botanic Gardens is the Adelaide Zoo, with its rare and endangered animals and Australian native animals.

If you enjoy sport, join an AAMI Stadium tour to learn more about Adelaide's home of football, or take a tour of the most picturesque test-cricket ground in Australia - the Adelaide Oval.

For a taste of history, book an Adelaide Gaol tour to experience life behind bars in a gaol that opened in 1841.

You could also ride a historic tram out to the seaside suburb of Glenelg in Adelaide. Beaches in Adelaide are only 20 minutes from the CBD, with the most popular being Glenelg Beach or Henley Beach. The glorious Adelaide weather will make your day on the beach memorable.

Water played a pivotal role in the history of Adelaide, South Australia, so visit Port Adelaide and learn more about the early days through the many museums in the Port, including the South Australian Maritime Museum and South Australian Aviation Museum.

After all of this, relax at one of Adelaide's day spas for a spot of pampering.
