Adelaide has so much on offer that it would be a pity to miss out on any aspect of the city's splendour. This suburb guide to Adelaide offers you a chance to discover the city's best from the beaches to bars, laneways and street art to the iconic sandstone architecture.
This area incorporates North Adelaide, West End, East End and the City Centre. The area is synonymous with its sandstone architecture which renders a rather austere and classy vibe to the area but don't let appearances fool you because Central Adelaide is where the fun begins. For those of you who enjoy an evening of bar-hopping, the West End is perfect. Home to rooftop bars and little hidden clubs, this area is where your evening fun begins. North Adelaide is beautiful and perfect for strolls along the riverfront and meeting a few friendly locals. The City Centre is where you should head for a classy meal; the East End too houses some of Adelaide's most notable restaurants. Both areas come highly recommended for foodies to explore. If you want to explore and enjoy the best of the city, make sure to look for the most central holiday apartments Adelaide has on offer. Popular choices such as iStay Precinct Adelaide are located right smack in the middle of the CBD and make exploring a breeze.
South Australia's ritzy neighbourhood, North Adelaide is pretty easy to reach from your hotel in Adelaide CBD. Take along the cameras as you amble along with the neighbourhoods. The streets are lined with plenty of heritage buildings that range from pretty historical workers' cottages to the more glamorous mansions and sprawling villas. The pretty tree-lined streets add to the picture-perfect surroundings.
No holiday in Adelaide is complete until you have experienced the beaches. There are plenty of favourites to choose from where you have ample opportunity to chill and soak up the sun. Port Adelaide, Glenelg Beach and Henley Beach are some of the best. Look forward to plenty of action too because Adelaide beaches are loved for kayaking, swimming and of course, dolphin watching. But the beach and water is not the only place to have fun, the surrounding areas have plenty of attractions to be explored. Check out the lively street markets, the cafes, pubs and stunning street art while coastal walks are perfect for relaxing and re-charging your batteries.
The more popular beach in Adelaide Glenelg generates a fun vibe and is ideal for everyone to enjoy a few moments in the sun. Relish the holiday vibes exuding from the large sandy oasis that makes up Glenelg Beach. There you can enjoy all the lures including fantastic shopping opportunities, exploring the heritage sites and hanging around for the stunning sunset.
Henley Square Market, at Glenelg Beach, is a lovely precinct to explore. Held every last Sunday of the month the bazaar abounds with fabulous experiences and a chance to catch up with local lifestyles. Museums the entire family will enjoy include the Maritime Museum and the National Railway Museum. Around Port Adelaide are some chic galleries worth visiting; Fontanelle and Cult & Harper will not disappoint and offer some very impressive displays. Adelaide is all about experiences and you should make it a point to explore and absorb it all.
