If you are looking for a city break, then you must know Adelaide is fast becoming Australia's popular city getaway. Read on why Adelaide is the perfect place to head over to.
Cities like Sydney in Australia has a wow factor that grabs the attention of many. Adelaide, on the other hand, has a more gentle and soft approach with incredible beauty that surrounds the periphery, with rolling hills on the east and pristine beaches on the west co-existing in perfect harmony. On top of that, it has many green spaces, parks, gardens, blue skies and luxurious boulevards. Unlike cities like Melbourne and Sydney, Adelaide gives you room to breathe. Everything you will need is only a mere 15 minutes away and the city has a population of around 1 million only. Besides, if you are looking for the best hotel in Adelaide located close to most tourist attractions, you can check out properties like Avani Adelaide Residences.
Head over to the Adelaide Central market which is around 145-years old. Just an hour here will convince you that this is the food capital of the country. There are more than 80 cafés, restaurant and stalls which all showcase the fresh produce. You will be able to taste sweet chocolate, watch cheese getting made, entertain yourself with Italian coffee, and by fresh local produce from the greengrocers. It is absolutely incredible and an experience completely worth travelling to Adelaide for.
Australia is popular for its wineries located all around. Did you know that even Adelaide has its fair share of wineries and you can have the most exquisite experience here? You will be able to find some of the most recognised brands in these parts. You can head over to Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley all located a quick drive away from the city centre.
You will also be delighted to find out that most tourist attractions and activities are only a quick drive away from the city centre. This means you can reach wine valleys, historical towns, immaculate beaches, unique hilltop villages, breath-taking landscape, and diverse wildlife, easily and quite quickly too. Most of the beaches of Adelaide are a half-hour drive away and the warm climate can be quite appreciated throughout the year. The main tourist hotspot is the Glenelg Beach which is situated only 12 km away.
Another fun activity that will excite the tourists will be bicycle exploration of the city. It is quite an easy city to explore with such transportation as most of the areas are on flat land. Having said that, there are scenic bike trails that wind its way through parklands that can take your breath away. Even the bicycle lanes on the busy streets of the city are well marked making a lot safer and easier. If you are looking for the best spot, you must pay attention to the east Adelaide parklands and the Torrens River.
