Our top tips for visiting Adelaide.

Walk around Adelaide. It is a well set out city and not too big. A great place for sports fans, wine lovers, comedy and arts lovers, history buffs etc. Adelaide has something for everyone. Business is centred in the CBD where our apartment is located as well.
Considered to be perhaps the most beautiful cricket ground in the world. Also, a great setting for watching AFL, and for concerts. Fantastic atmosphere, the tour of the ground is well worth doing and we recommend doing it when a state cricket game is on. For the adventure lovers, try the roof top climb. Bookings are needed for the ground tour and the roof top climb.

This is the place in Adelaide that almost all locals will agree is a must visit. You will be offered a sample at this store and we recommend their fudge, pastilles and when in season, their Rocky Road.

This square is really the centre of Adelaide. It is near our iconic Town Hall and original General Post Office. The Tour Down Under has its headquarters during the January race on the Victoria Square garden area. There are often festivals set up here. It is also a lovely place to sit for a picnic in the middle of Adelaide too.

Enjoy visiting our lovely rotunda, catch the Popeye river boat, walk our newly iconic river bridge to the Oval, or just watch people on the paddle boats. Another lovely green grassed area in Adelaide.

Lovely food, great service and just around the corner from our apartment. Considered to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in Adelaide. It is not cheap but is well worth it for a special occasion. If you take your apartment discount card in, ( Mon to Thurs only), you will receive a $20 discount.

You can book in here to do a short half hour tour of Haighs and see the chocolates being made. This is a popular tour and bookings are essential. Around Easter, Haighs is very busy, so we would not recommend visiting at this time of year, although the staff offer samples to people as they wait in line. Yummy.

This is a hidden gem in the Adelaide Hills town of Birdwood. The National Motor Museum is situated in a beautiful little town and has an incredible display that has something for everyone including new interactive displays that children and adults alike will love. We live near this museum and highly recommend it.

The most well known of Adelaide beaches. This beach and shopping precinct can be easily travelled to either by car or tram from nearby our apartment. It is an area with a lot of restaurants as well. As locals we find parking can be difficult and recommend trips via the Glenelg Tram instead.

This is Mary's favourite seaside area in Adelaide as she lived here as a teenager. Not as well known as Glenelg, this beach area is great for families and has a more quiet but welcoming feel to its main street area. There are cafes and restaurants plus parking is more readily available. The nearby Port area is interesting to visit too.

One of the most interesting day tours from Adelaide or better yet, stay overnight, and make it 2 days. The walk over to Granite Island only takes 10 to 15 minutes and there is a great cafe on the island for a lovely cup of coffee. Walk around the island and see some amazing granite outcrops and some really average sculptures (Mary and Mark do not like these new additions). Catch the Steamranger. Visit the Whale Centre. Goolwa, Middleton, Port Elliot and other lovely seaside towns are all nearby.

This is the only zoo in Australia that has panda's. So that is a great reason to visit. It is near the city centre, is rather lovely old world type zoo although most enclosures have been updated. You can catch the Popeye boat from Elder Park to the zoo.

This is an open plains style zoo on a huge tract of land. Buses take people around the zoo and some amazing large animals can be seen. Special experiences can be arranged (at a cost) including feeding giraffes, being in amongst the lions etc. This is a great zoo. An all day trip, with a vehicle being needed to get here.
