🐾 Wildlife 🗼 Landmark 🏖️ Ocean 🏖️ BeachLearn More about Adelaide
Adelaide, or the Queen City of South Australia. Firstly, because this metropolis of 1.3 million inhabitants owes its name to a queen - Adelaide, wife of William IV, but also because of its cultural importance and its beautiful heritage.
Founded in 1836, Adelaide has beautiful streets lined with Victorian buildings, such as North Terrace, a grand tree-lined boulevard with prestigious buildings. Among these, the South Australian Museum should not be missed for its gallery dedicated to Aboriginal culture.
Another must-see is the Migration Museum, which traces the history of immigration to South Australia since 1836. It's a fitting tribute to South Australia's rich multicultural diversity.
The Art Gallery of South Australia, another of Adelaide's major museums, contains thousands of works, including an extensive collection of work by Aboriginal Australian artists.
The historic centre is surrounded by large green spaces, including the 48-hectare Adelaide Botanic Gardens, renowned for its 2,500 species of roses, and the Palm House, a greenhouse imported from Europe in 1875.
Crossed by the Torrens River, Adelaide lends itself well to a stroll along its wide avenues and small streets where you can enjoy a stroll and stop at a restaurant, bar, pub or café. Adelaide is also an epicurean city. It is the wine capital of Australia, located near many vineyards. An Australian National Wine Centre tells you all about it.
Adelaide is also a gourmet city, adept at fusion fooding, a concept that aims to mix different gastronomic traditions. But there are also places where you can find both. Local produce is on offer in the aisles of the famous Adelaide Central Market.
To the west, harbours and beaches overlooking the Gulf of St Vincent line up. Here you can enjoy the Mediterranean climate to the full.
To the east are the hills of the Mount Lofty range (727 m), from the top of which there is a panoramic view of the city.
There are also several wine producing areas (reds, rosés, whites) in the vicinity, starting with small vineyards on the slopes of the Mount Lofty hills to the east of the city, or the McLaren Vale on the Fleurieu Peninsula to the south.
To the north, the Barossa Valley, where high quality wines are produced (Penfolds, St Hugo, Seppeltsfield...), is quickly followed by the Clare Valley and its famous Riesling, which takes the form of a narrow 25 km corridor, a valley that shows vineyards and other cultivated areas, as well as hills covered with bush.
The wineries are open to visitors and offer tastings. The wineries are on the Epicurean Way, a wine route that also includes many fine restaurants, cheese shops and brasseries.
