Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and is a city of visual harmony and classical elegant style.  A city of churches, sandstone homes and broad streets surrounded by green parkland, Adelaide enjoys sublime natural surroundings, flanked by the gorgeous Mt Lofty Ranges and calm gulf waters.  North Terrace is Adelaide’s cultural centre, a long line of Victorian building housing state treasures.  Don’t miss the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the famous Botanic Gardens.  Take a lazy cruise down the Torrens River, ride the historic tram to the seaside town of Glenelg or soak up the atmosphere at the Central Markets.

Glenelg – Adelaide’s favourite beach, only 10 minutes from the airport and 30 minutes by tram to the city.  Glenelg is synonymous with sandy white beaches, wide ocean views and stunning sunsets. Not to mention its celebrated restaurants and cafes, fascinating museums, galleries and attractions.  More than 250 specialty shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants give Jetty Road its distinctive coastal flavour and a ‘people pulse’ that keep’s the precinct buzzing seven days a week, also nearby is the modern Holdfast Shores, with excellent restaurants centred around Marina Pier, with great views and the base for Temptation Sailing swim with dolphin cruises. The famous Barossa and McLaren Vale wine districts, Adelaide Hills, Victor Harbour and Port Elliot are within a pleasant drive away.
