"If Austin, Napa Valley, and the Mediterranean had a baby, it would be Adelaide. The Southern Australian city boasts a thriving arts and culture scene, along with plenty of endearing quirks. The setting, wedged between hills on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, is also stunning, and the location provides easy access to three world-class wine regions nearby and the outback a few hours north. Plus, nowhere else in Australia can you get produce from farm, sea, and outback to table as fast as Adelaide - and it shows."
"Adelaide has been overlooked for its size, long passed over by tourists for Sydney or Melbourne to the east. But Adelaide's size also makes it conveniently manageable in scale. At four square miles, you can walk and eat your way around everything the city has to offer, and easily launch into day trips into the surrounding countryside. The city hasn't been sitting still either; in recent years, Adelaide has shaken off its conservative roots and reputation as a "city of churches," to become a place that's undeniably cool and uniquely its own."
Adelaide sits between hills and the Indian Ocean and provides immediate access to three world-class wine regions and the nearby outback. The food scene highlights produce from farm, sea, and outback while honoring Indigenous heritage and Asian, European, and British influences. The city is compact and walkable at roughly four square miles, enabling exploration on foot and convenient day trips into surrounding countryside. The annual Fringe Festival during Mad March draws large crowds, while other months are quieter and less expensive. North Terrace is a central lodging area, and renting a car at the airport eases day trips.
