Adelaide

Adelaide's planned centre sits between Gulf St Vincent and the Mount Lofty Ranges. Its grid, public squares and surrounding parklands make the city layout part of the visit.

Why go

William Light's plan gives Adelaide an unusually legible centre. Follow North Terrace for the Art Gallery of South Australia, South Australian Museum and State Library, then compare those formal institutions with Adelaide Central Market or the Botanic Garden. The city sits on Kaurna Country, a history older than the colonial grid.

What to look for

  • North Terrace's museums, gallery and State Library
  • The city grid, squares and parkland ring
  • Food stalls at Adelaide Central Market

Useful to know

  • Use North Terrace as a compact cultural cluster.
  • Check Adelaide Central Market's trading times before building a visit around it.
