To discover Adelaide in just 1 day and to get the most out of our captivating city we recommend the following experiences:

Start your day off in the city of Festivals at the Adelaide Central Market(opens in a new tab), open Tuesday-Saturday. It’s a great spot to grab breakfast and it’s always quieter in the morning, so spend an hour or two exploring at your own pace.

Then come on a tour with us of course! We have the Ultimate Adelaide Tour which departs everyday at 10am and will help you get orientated to the city, learn the city’s culture and history as well as discover historic Adelaide Arcade(opens in a new tab), wander Rundle Mall(opens in a new tab) and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the River Torrens.

Our tour provides a great introduction to this captivating city and sets you up for an afternoon of further discovery. For more cultural and historical learnings, head over to the North Terrace cultural precinct. You have The Art Gallery of South Australia(opens in a new tab) with over 38 000 pieces of art, the State Library(opens in a new tab) which has been described as one of the most beautiful in the world, the SA Museum(opens in a new tab) with the largest collection of indigenous Australian artefacts in the world and the beautiful Botanic Gardens.(opens in a new tab) All are within a short distance of each other along one of our main city boulevards.

If you prefer more beautiful scenery then a cruise along the river Torrens with Popeye Cruises(opens in a new tab), which has been operating for over 100 years, is an essential experience. Or if sports is more your thing then a tour of the Adelaide Oval(opens in a new tab) or an exhilarating walk along its roofline(opens in a new tab) could be for you.

To finish off your day, you should jump on a city tram and head out to the beachside suburb of Glenelg(opens in a new tab). Stunning sunsets over the water, top restaurants and relaxed bar drinks await you to round out your day in Adelaide.
