Adelaide CBD

Right in the heart of Adelaide CBD, the Adelaide Botanic Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the city's buzz. Spanning 50 hectares, it’s a beautiful spot for a quiet stroll through rose gardens, lush wetlands and green spaces. Step inside the impressive glasshouses to discover tropical rainforests, Madagascan palms and giant Amazonian water lilies. First opened in 1857, the Gardens are also home to the State Herbarium — a vital centre for plant research and conservation. It’s the perfect blend of nature, history and science, right in the middle of the city.

Adelaide Central Market is the biggest covered market in the southern hemisphere. With over 70 stalls, it’s a hub of fresh produce, artisanal goods, and multicultural eats. You’ll find everything from cheeses, seafood and meats to pastries, health food, and handmade treats. If you’re not in the mood to shop, it’s a great place to stop for a bite to eat, with plenty of cafes and food vendors serving flavours from around the world. At over 150 years old, Adelaide Central Market is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience the history behind the city’s vibrant food scene.

Riding a bike along the River Torrens is one of the best ways to experience Adelaide. The river weaves through the city, offering over 30 kilometres of scenic cycling paths. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just out for a relaxed ride, the well-maintained trails are easy to navigate and dotted with picnic spots, parks, and cafes. You’ll pass iconic landmarks like the Adelaide Oval and Botanic Gardens, with plenty of chances to stop, snap a photo, or simply take in the riverside views.
