Adelaide, the state's capital, is an elegant, cosmopolitan city
surrounded by parklands and nestled between picturesque hills and
the coast. It is where holidaymakers and residents alike enjoy
a taste of 'the good life'. Adelaide delights visitors with its 300
days of sunshine a year, alfresco lifestyle, heritage buildings,
excellent dining opportunities, vibrant arts culture, indigenous
experiences, friendly locals, and countless festivals and events,
including the Santos Tour Down Under, the first Pro-Cycling
event of each year.
Within close proximity of Adelaide, visitors can meet wildlife in
their native habitat on Kangaroo Island - Australia's Galapagos, swim
with dolphins off the suburban beaches, and enjoy world-renowned
wine regions such as the Barossa, Clare Valley, Coonawarra or McLaren Vale. Visitors can head to the
colourful Outback, home one of the oldest mountain ranges
in the world, the Flinders Ranges, and the 'underground'
opal-mining town of Coober Pedy. Added to this there is the
majestic River Murray, where visitors can cruise on
paddle steamers or luxurious houseboats, and Adelaide is the hub
for the great journeys around Australia, including the world famous
Ghan rail journey.
In South
Australia the emphasis is on quality experiences that allow
visitors to taste 'authentic' Australia. It has something to offer
all types of travellers, from those seeking luxury travel
experiences to anyone wanting to get 'off the beaten track' and
explore the road less travelled.
Adelaide is an integral Australian gateway with direct or
inter-connecting flights from UK and Europe, on several major
airlines. Why not start your Australian holiday
here?
