If you’re a fan of the good stuff in life – we’re talking wine, furry animals, and stunning views – then South Australia is for you. Home to the award-winning Barossa Valley where it’s totally socially acceptable to get tipsy while overlooking stunning vineyards and Adelaide streets that are stuffed full of amazing cafes and restaurants – you’re spoiled for choice. Adelaide is also the perfect place to kick off your Outback tour. Head inland to the rugged Flinders Ranges or experience Australia’s only underground town of Coober Pedy!
Adelaide is considered one of the least costly capital cities of Australia and there are many restaurants that offer great daily offers. We also recommend purchasing a metroCARD allowing you to use the public bus, train and tram systems at a cheaper rate than buying single fare tickets.
3 days
To allow enough time to enjoy the vineyards, city centre, beaches and surrounding parklands we recommend a minimum of three days in Adelaide.
Adelaide’s Summer is hot and clear, boasting the lowest humidity and rainfall amounts of any Australian capital city whilst its Spring and Autumn remain reasonably dry with temperatures staying between 12-22oC. Adelaide in Winter brings frost on the hills but the city temperature does not drop below 8oC.
February and March play host to Adelaide’s favourite festivals such as the Fringe Festival and WOMADelaide, you also get to experience some of the city’s glorious summer weather as it starts to cool.
