Must-Visit Attractions in Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide is one of Australia’s hottest destinations, offering a cocktail of sophisticated culture, heritage architecture, abundant natural delights and a vibrant food and drink scene. From sports venues and wineries to markets, beaches and museums, South Australia’s thriving city has it all, but we’ve done our best to narrow it down. So, without further ado, here are Culture Trip’s must-visit attractions in Adelaide that you have to tick off on your next visit . Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips , compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips .

Adelaide oval.

The South Australian capital is nicknamed the City of Churches, but its most famous cathedral is dedicated to sport, a venue that routinely draws a crowd of 50,000-plus to worship at the altar of cricket and Australian football. Rock up in summer for a game of cricket – either the Australian national team or the Adelaide Strikers Big Bash franchise – or in winter to see the city’s beloved AFL clubs, the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power.

National Wine Centre of Australia

If there’s one thing South Australians love more than sport, it’s wine. With a clutch of world-class wine regions sitting right on Adelaide’s doorstep, who could blame them? Dive headfirst into the wine-making process at this modern exhibition known simply as the Wine Centre, which also showcases some of Australia’s finest drops, alongside a fresh seasonal menu once you’ve finished your tour.

Victoria Square

The name sounds very British, but Victoria Square’s history dates back a lot further than European settlement. Also known as Tarntanyangga, the space was used as a meeting place by local Indigenous people for millennia before the British colonists arrived. Renamed Victoria Square in 1837 and Victoria Square/Tarndanyangga in 2002, it is still one of Adelaide’s must-visit attractions, with its historic fountain and green grass a focal point in the heart of the city. It is also once again host to important Aboriginal events, including the National Sorry Day commemoration held every year on 26 May.

Adelaide Central Market

Continue the celebration of local food and drink at the Adelaide Central Market , the most-visited attraction in the state. More than eight million visitors a year flock to the market, which has been the buzzing hub of Adelaide’s culinary culture since it opened way back in 1869. The 80 stalls make it one of the largest covered markets in the Southern Hemisphere.

Glenelg Beach

Adelaide’s most popular city beach is a 25-minute tram ride from the city centre to Moseley Square, where it drops you off just metres from the ocean. A must-visit spot when in Adelaide, it’s not just the miles of golden sand, the picturesque jetty and the stunning sunsets that make Glenelg so special, but also the trendy boutiques, heritage hotels and cafés and eateries along Jetty Road.

Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute

Established in 1989, the Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute is the oldest Indigenous-owned and run cultural centre in Australia. Deriving its name from the Kaurna name for Adelaide, Tarndanya – meaning ‘place of the red kangaroo’ – Tandanya celebrates Aboriginal art and storytelling in all its incarnations, including visual art, music, print, video and written word, and has a café with Indigenous-inspired food. They also host several events throughout the year, including the Spirit Festival, Survival Day, NAIDOC Week, exhibitions and an art fair.

South Australian Museum

For over 150 years, the South Australian Museum has expanded the minds of visitors to the South Australian capital. The Museum includes over four million items – including the largest collection of Indigenous Australian cultural artefacts anywhere in the country. The best part? Entry is free! Check the website for free guided tours as well as events and temporary exhibitions.

Adelaide Zoo

Adelaide’s not short on wildlife reserves – there’s Cleland Wildlife Park in the Adelaide Hills, the open-range Monarto Zoo an hour’s drive out of town and the gorgeous Botanic Gardens on the northern edge of the city centre. But the Adelaide Zoo is perhaps the pick of the bunch, housing 2,500 animals across 250 species. The star attractions are a pair of giant pandas called Wang Wang and Fu Ni.

Adelaide Gaol

Everyone loves a good ghost story, and the Adelaide Gaol contains plenty of them – 45 people were executed at the site following the first hanging in 1840. The prison was decommissioned in 1988, but that wasn’t the end of South Australia’s second oldest surviving building. Adelaide Gaol lives on today as a museum and function centre, complete with spooky guided tours.

Art Gallery of South Australia

Right next door to the South Australian Museum sits the Art Gallery of South Australia , one of the country’s finest collections of artworks from every corner of the globe. Established in 1881, the gallery is renowned for its collection of Australian art. It also hosts the annual festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art (Tarnathi). Part of Adelaide’s cultural precinct of classic sandstone buildings on leafy North Terrace, AGSA and the South Australian Museum are also flanked by the University of Adelaide, the State Library of South Australia, the National War Memorial, the Ayers House Museum and the Parliament of South Australia, which is also worth visiting if you have the time.

The Laneway Bars

Adelaide’s laneways are home to plenty of fun and exciting hidden bars, where you’ll find the best spots hidden behind secret doors, tucked away in basements, on rooftops and down secret alleyways. The go-to spots for boutique bars in the city are Leigh Street and Peel Street, but there are plenty of others to choose from, including rooftop spots offering great views over the city.

Adelaide Old Treasury Tunnels

Head underground and take a unique tour through the old treasury to uncover the history of colonial life in one of Australia’s oldest buildings, the Old Adelaide Treasury . Although the building has been refurbed into hotel apartments, it can still be explored as part of a tour, including the old government cabinet room, and the tunnels underneath the treasury. Built in 1850, the tunnels were built to secretly deliver government mail and store gold from Victoria’s Goldfields, which would eventually be melted down to form the Adelaide pound, Australia’s first gold coin.

Adelaide Botanic Garden

Right next to the National Wine Centre of Australia, the Adelaide Botanic Garden is an oasis of calm in the city. Opened in 1857, this is one of Australia’s oldest botanic gardens, with over 50 hectares (124 acres) of lush greenery, exotic plants, ponds and heritage architecture. Don’t miss the Bicentennial Observatory, the Amazon Waterlily Pavilion or the famous wisteria arbour.

Z Ward, Glenside Hospital

Once home to South Australia’s criminally insane patients, Glenside Hospital , formerly known as the Parkside Lunatic Asylum, amongst others, was designed in the mid-19th century by EJ Woods. Completed in 1885, it served as a psychiatric hospital until the 1970s when it was largely abandoned. Now, the hospital’s infamous Z Ward – where the criminally and mentally insane were held – is open to the public, running both day tours and ghost tours that tell the stories of the inmates and this fascinatingly dark side of colonial history.

Migration Museum

There are immigration museums all over the world these days – Ellis Island’s offering in New York is probably the most famous – but Adelaide’s Migration Museum was the first of its kind anywhere on Earth when it opened in 1986. The facility promotes multiculturalism by tracing the social history of the generations of new arrivals that have made such immense contributions to South Australian society.

The City of Adelaide Clipper Ship

Adelaide is home to the oldest surviving clipper ship in the world, the City of Adelaide. Five years older than London’s famous Cutty Sark, the City of Adelaide was built in 1864 and made 23 return trips from England to South Australia, with an estimated 250,000 Australians being able to trace their ancestry to the famous ship. The City of Adelaide was moved to its final destination in Port Adelaide’s Dock 2 in November 2019, and it is now open for self-guided tours.

Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary

Only 20 minutes from downtown, the Adelaide Dolphin Sanctuary is a protected area of coastline that is home to over 30 wild bottlenose dolphins, and regularly visited by many more. Encompassing a 10,000-year-old mangrove forest, along with saltmarsh, seagrass and tidal flats, the dolphins share their sanctuary with stingrays, long-nosed fur seals, endangered Australian sea lions and plenty of diverse Australian birdlife. The best way to explore the sanctuary is by water, with paddleboarding and kayaking popular pastimes, but you can also stay high and dry and watch the dolphins and birds from the mainland.

Morialta Conservation Park

Just 10km (6mi) northeast of the CBD, the rugged gorges, cliffs, waterfalls and woodlands of Morialta Conservation Park in the Mount Lofty Ranges have been Adelaide’s outdoor playground for over a century. Perfect for hikers, birdwatchers and rock climbers, the park features three waterfalls along Fourth Creek, aptly named First, Second and Third Falls, which are their impressive best in the winter months after heavy rainfall.

One of Australia’s most unique museums, MOD. – the Museum of Discovery – is part of the University of South Australia. Bringing together science, art and cutting-edge technology, MOD. demonstrates how researching and understanding the world can help us to create a better future. The modern building in the city features seven dynamic gallery spaces with rotating exhibitions, as well as a café and a shop.

Cleland Conservation Park

About 22km (14mi) from Adelaide’s centre, the Cleland Conservation Park is home to the Cleland Wildlife Park, Mount Lofty Summit, Mount Lofty Botanic Garden and Waterfall Gully. Making for a great day trip from the city, you can combine visiting the animals at the wildlife park with the flora and fauna of the Botanic Garden, before braving the hike up to the top of Mount Lofty, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic vistas over the city all the way to the coast. Take the scenic route down through Waterfall Gully, before heading back to the city and treating yourself to a well-deserved meal at one of the city’s great restaurants .

Ultimate 6-Day Adelaide Itinerary — The Best of South Australia’s Underrated Capital City and its Surrounds

This Adelaide itinerary will prove that the stereotype ‘ Adelaide is boring ‘, is a lie.

Australia is a travel destination we constantly find ourselves returning to. But after exploring all the different territories and major cities , we realised that we’ve yet to take a trip to the downest under — South Australia .

I didn’t know much about Adelaide aside from people telling me there’s “nothing to do there”. But after spending six days exploring Adelaide and its surroundings, I’ve discovered that this might be the most underrated city in Australia — and my favourite one!

This Adelaide itinerary will explore the best the region has to offer, both visually and gastronomically. Expect an artsy city, wildlife encounters, endless wine tastings and even a day trip to Kangaroo Island 🦘

Plus, it’s only a 6.5-hour direct flight from Singapore — but I’ll go into detail about that at the end 🌞

Day 1-2: Explore Adelaide City

Adelaide is affectionately known as the ’20-minute city’ amongst locals as everything is conveniently located within a 20-minute distance to and from the city centre — whether by foot, tram or car. Even the airport is just a 20-minute drive from the city centre!

Despite its small size, there are plenty of things to see and do in the city that cannot be conquered in a day. Checking out the museums on the North Terrace , shopping along Rundle Street or grabbing dinner at the swanky East End is just scratching the surface.

Get breakfast at Adelaide Central Market

Adelaide Central Market is one of the most vibrant spots in the city — an intersection of culture, fresh produce and food!

Opened in 1869, it’s one of the oldest markets in Australia. There are overflowing displays of fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, seafood and cheese — for an affordable rate! Even though I’m averse to cooking, I had the strong urge to buy everything just cause it looked so good.

Besides cooking ingredients, you can also find household essentials, restaurants, bakeries, flower shops and a bookshop there.

Cheese sampling during the food tour.

I went on a guided food tou r (AU$89/pax) to learn more about the market’s history and got to sample the best grapes, falafel, milk, pastrami and popcorn of my life 🤤 The fruits and milk are so sweet without added sugar!

Make sure to come to this tour on an empty stomach so you have room to try more things.

Fun fact: The market donates unsold produce and composts food waste as a pledge to be more sustainable!

Marvel at the South Australia State Library’s Mortlock Chamber

Named one of the Most Beautiful Libraries in the World in 2014 , the Mortlock Chamber at the State Library of South Australia is every book lover’s dream.

With Victorian-style wooden shelves housing old books, an arched skylight and people studying and working on their laptops, it felt like stepping into the Hogwarts library from Harry Potter — simply magical 🥹

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: Varies How to get there: 20min walk from Adelaide Central Market ( Google Maps )

Visit the Art Gallery of South Australia

Stepping into the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) may feel disorienting upon entering cause of the sudden blend of European, Asian, Colonial, Aboriginal and Modern Art pieces in the same room — until you realise it’s genius.

While most museums categorise their exhibits into art periods, AGSA’s divide theirs into region and theme — mixing traditional and contemporary art to show how it relates across time. My favourite is the Australian Art Collection where they showcase many Aboriginal, Colonial and Australian pieces together to explore identity and belonging.

AGSA has a massive collection of over 47,000 works and I could see myself easily spending hours at the gallery fawning over their International Collection. Some famous artists you might recognise include Patricia Piccinini , Yayoi Kusama , Auguste Rodin , Bouguereau , Hokusai and more!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 10AM – 5PM How to get there: 2min walk from the State Library of South Australia ( Google Maps )

Partake in Aussie brunch culture at Peter Rabbit

Peter Rabbit Cafe felt like a cottage garden in the English countryside. Nestled in Adelaide’s West End, the cafe is bursting with flowers and greenery.

While not directly associated with its namesake, fans of Beatrix Potter’s books would still feel nostalgic as if a little bunny in a suit is about to pop up from around a potted plant.

With a charming backdrop for brunch, I ordered an equally beautiful plate of Ricotta & Rye (AU$25) plus a side of smoked bacon (AU$7). I also got a cup of flat white (AU$4.80) and safe to say, Australia lives up to its coffee hype.

The cafe also has vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free dietary options available .

Cost: From AU$15/main Opening hours: 7:30AM – 3PM (Mon – Fri), 8AM – 3PM (Sat – Sun) How to get there: 15min walk from Rundle Mall ( Google Maps )

Go on a walking tour in the city

While exploring a city alone has its merits, I always appreciated the details and tidbits only a local guide would know. As someone who tends to overlook the ordinary, walking tours are an underrated way to get to know a new place!

I went on a Jimmy C Street Art Tour to explore Adelaide through an artist’s lens. Jimmy C is based in London but he was raised in Adelaide and his works can be found scattered across the city. Our guide Katina was super informative and even shared about how some of his international works are sister pieces to those in Adelaide.

Jimmy C also works with local artists on murals and the painting techniques of Aboriginal art inspired this collaborative piece!

I may not have known who Jimmy C was before this tour, but I appreciated how he’s part of why the city is so vibrant.

Just walking around also made me realise that I’ll come across a painting at the side of the building every other block, even if it isn’t by Jimmy C.

Katina also hosts other walking tours like the Welcome to Adelaide tour for those more into history and heritage. Plus, nothing is better than a local’s recommendations for food and nightlife 🤭

Cost: From S$40/adult via Klook Tour timing: 2PM – 3:30PM (Mon – Sat) Meeting point: Jimmy C’s Opehalia piece, 22/26 Vardon Ave, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia ( Google Maps )

Visit Penfolds Magill Estate Cellar Door

Australia is known for its vineyards and Penfolds is one of the biggest household names.

This historic label was born on the doorstep of Adelaide and the estate is only a 15-minute drive from the city! The grounds are beautiful with rolling green patches and stunning stone buildings where they make the wine on site. I went on a tour to learn about the label’s history and checked out the underground drives lined with wooden barrels and pricey vintages!

The Ultimate Tasting Flight (AU$120) features 6 glasses that include bestsellers like the RWT, Bin 149, and Grange.

Penfolds hosts walk-in wine-tasting experiences with Daily Tasting Flights flights (AU$20/pax) where you try seven different glasses 🍷 Top up extra to try premium wines like the Grange and Bin 707.

For self-proclaimed wine connoisseurs, I recommend trying the Ultimate Penfolds Experience (~S$154/pax) , which includes the tour and the Ultimate Tasting Flight. I got to try some of their best wines like the Bin 149 and the famed Grange — ngl I was shocked to find out the Grange can retail up to S$1,000 but it genuinely lives up to the hype!

*Pro-tip: Get your Daily Tasting Flight waived by purchasing a bottle.

End your visit by grabbing a casual lunch at the Magill Estate Kitchen . They serve both brunch and lunch during the day and offer curated wine pairings with their menu. Sit outdoors to get a stellar view overlooking the vineyard.

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 10AM – 5PM How to get there: 14min drive from Vibe Hotel Adelaide ( Google Maps )

Check out Adelaide’s vibrant art scene

Adelaide is known endearingly as Australia’s festival city as domestic and international travellers flock here each season to support the thriving arts scene. My trip coincided with ‘ Mad March ‘, where summer events such as the Adelaide Festival , WOMADelaide and the Adelaide Fringe all happened at the same time in March!

I attended the first day of WOMADelaide, a festival celebrating music, performance art and dance at the Botanic Garden and was blown away by the scale and energy of it. Corrine Bailey Rae was the headliner! It’s like Coachella but without the influencer culture, just people living in the moment.

LIMBO – The Return is a dazzling show with acrobats, cabaret, fire-breathing, burlesque, jazz and more!

But the real gem is the Adelaide Fringe, which features acts that veer from the mainstream such as comedy, theatre, cabaret, circus, drag and more! Unfiltered, outrageous and unapologetic — it’s unlike anything in Singapore and I was lucky enough to catch three shows.

If you think that there’s ‘nothing to do in Australia at night’, I highly recommend timing your trip with the festivals in Adelaide . Malls and museums also hold special programmes and shops close later during the Fringe.

Day 3: Relax at Adelaide’s best beaches

Swim with wild dolphins.

Day 3 began early at the Glenelg Beach marina for the Temptation Dolphin cruise . After changing into a wetsuit and a quick safety briefing, we were off on our quest for dolphins.

And what a bucket list experience! Pods of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins swam up to our boat to surf the waves at the bow — and I had a front-row seat. As the boat was moving, it felt like I was swimming together metres behind them. Some even looked back in curiosity before diving down to hunt squids 🦑

There are two experiences included, the front swim and back swim. The former is on a group rotation basis while the latter can be done anytime. There’s no actual swimming involved in both experiences so this is great for children and weak swimmers.

The front swim is in a net that will support your body under the front of the boat while you submerge your head in the water. The back refers to two floating lines extended at the back of the boat, which you’ll hold onto — a warning though that the boat can be sailing at times!

Curious dolphins might come over to you in the back swim!

For those not keen on swimming, opt for the Dolphin Watch where you can spot the dolphins from the comfort of the same boat. The guides shared that dolphins are around year-round but the best time to see them is in November. You might even get to spot seals and penguins!

*Pro-tip: Top up an additional AU$25 for a photo and video package to get iPhone, GoPro and camera footage after the tour.

Cost: ~S$122/pax for Dolphin Swim, ~S$69/pax for Dolphin Watch Activity timing : 8AM (Sep – Apr) Meeting point: 1 Holdfast Promenade, Glenelg SA 5045, Australia ( Google Maps )

Chill at Moseley Beach Club

Nothing screams Australian summer like cocktails with a view at a beach club.

Mosely Beach Club sits at the side of the jetty at Glenelg Beach with an unobstructed view of the crystal blue ocean. FYI, it only operates during summer (Dec – Apr) with beanbags, day beds and sofas to soak in the good vibes and catch a tan 👙

Swimming with dolphins worked up my appetite so I ordered a Battered Flathead and Chips (AU$22) and a Pimm’s iced lemonade (AU$13), which was refreshing and helped beat the heat.

*Note: There’s a minimum spend for sun lounges, day beds and booths, but feel free to sit at the walk-in area with the beanbags and deck chairs!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 11AM – 11:30PM How to get there : 8min walk from Holdfast Promenade ( Google Maps )

Explore Glenelg’s Beach Town

Moseley Square is the epicentre of Glenelg and you’ll find visitors seeking refuge from the sun in many local businesses and cafes. There’s a tram stop in the middle of the square that’ll seamlessly connect you to and from the city centre.

Take the huge Ferris Wheel located between the square and jetty to get wicked views of both the city and the ocean 🎡

How to get there: 1min walk from the Moseley Beach Club ( Google Maps )

Have dinner at Henley Beach 

Henley Beach is one of Adelaide’s most popular beaches thanks to its pristine beach and crystal clear waters. The waters are so shallow, they only reach the knees even at the end of the jetty.

It’s a very laid-back beach, with locals sunbathing and swimming all day — I was tempted to join them. It’s also one of the best places in Adelaide to catch the sunset, so I recommend dropping by in the evening.

A beach day warrants a seafood dinner and HNLY , a Mediterranean restaurant, is just steps away from the beach. Located on the second floor, it has an outdoor sitting area with a nice view of the sea.

While it’s on the pricier end, the freshness and quality of the dishes made it worth it. I’m not a fan of raw fish but the kingfish carpaccio with nectarines (AU$25) has officially made me a convert — so buttery soft and flavourful!

Opening hours: 24 hours How to get there 16min drive from Moseley Square ( Google Maps )

Day 4: Explore Adelaide Hills and Hahndorf

After a day by the coast, I decided to head up to the Adelaide Hills — known for its lush valleys, charming villages, and the freshest produce! It’s only a ~30-minute drive from the CBD so I highly suggest adding it to your Adelaide itinerary.

I opted to go on a half-day bus tour that would take me from the city to the hills. The bus dropped me off at three different stops and gave us ~20min for the first two stops and ~1.5-hours for the last stop to independently explore them.

Get panoramic views from Mount Lofty Summit

Our first stop in the Adelaide Hills is Mount Lofty Summit , the highest point in Adelaide at 710m. Get a panoramic view of the city skyline, coastline and even Kangaroo Island (if you squint) from this lookout point!

If you have more time, consider hiking on one of their many bushwalking trails leading to the summit. The scenic trails have different difficulty levels with the shortest taking ~40min and the longest ~3.5 hours. Reward yourself with a refreshing drink at the Summit Cafe at the end of your hike.

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 6AM – 11PM How to get there: 30min drive from Adelaide Central Bus Station ( Google Maps )

Pick strawberries at Beerenberg Farm

Adelaide Hills supplies some of the best produce in Australia, and Beerenberg Farm is famed for its juicy strawberries. Entry to the patch costs AU$5 and you can pluck as many strawberries as you want from AU$11.95/kg. There wasn’t enough time to pick strawberries, so I bought a box to try and it was as sweet as it looked 🍓

The shop also sells produce like jams, marmalades and other sauces you can get as souvenirs. Plus, there’s a cafe that serves up dessert and ice cream made with freshly picked strawberries — hearsay the strawberry smoothie is amazing!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 9AM – 5PM How to get there: 20min drive from Mount Lofty Summit ( Google Maps )

*Pro-tip: The best time to pick strawberries is between Nov – Apr.

Shop at Hahndorf Village

Founded by Lutheran settlers in 1838, stepping into Hahndorf Village felt like I’d teleported to the Bavarian countryside.

As the oldest surviving German settlement in Australia, there are German bakeries, pubs and artisan stores lining the picturesque main street. While it’s a fairly small town, it was nice to browse through vintage, souvenir and candy shops — in true European fashion.

The village is also one of the best places to photograph Autumn foliage.

Located on the main street, this is easily my favourite shop. The German Village Shop sells Christmas decorations and handcrafted Hahndorf souvenirs — there’s even an entire wall covered in Cuckoo Clocks and they go off now and then!

No need to defrost Mariah Carey, it’s Christmas all year long 🎄

How to get there: 5min drive from Beerenberg Farm ( Google Maps )

Beer tasting at Hahndorf Inn

Over 160 years old, the Hahndorf Inn has stood the test of time, run by generations of the Holmes family.

I was immediately greeted by stone walls and rustic wooden ceilings. With framed photographs of predecessors, flowing beer taps and diners digging into hearty schnitzels, it was clear that this inn is the heart of Hahndorf.

The inn sells tasting beer flights from AU$16.

The tour includes a voucher for an afternoon tea set or a tasting of three German beers. While I opted for an iced chai and apple strudel, beer enthusiasts would enjoy sampling the brews imported from Germany and Australia. Prost 🍻

Opening hours: 10:30AM – 8:30PM, closes at 8PM on Sun How to get there: 1min walk from the German Village Shop Hahndorf ( Google Maps )

Day 5: Day trip to Kangaroo Island

Getting to Cape Jervis: ~2hrs via bus Getting to Kangaroo Island:  ~50min via ferry

No trip to South Australia is complete without adding Kangaroo Island to your Adelaide itinerary. Known for its incredible wildlife, local produce and untouched nature landscapes, it’s usually better to stay a night or two for the full experience.

This time round, I booked a day tour to check out the hidden gems there. Located southwest of Adelaide, we had to take a bus from Central Bus Station at 6:45AM to Cape Jervis Ferry Terminal . Then it’s a 50-minute ferry ride to Kangaroo Island.

Meet Birds of Prey at Raptor Domain

The first stop was Raptors Domain , a conservation centre dedicated to protecting, educating and rehabilitating birds and reptiles on Kangaroo Island. We caught the morning free-flight Birds of Prey presentation, which featured rescued owls, tawny frogmouths, kookaburras, wedge-tailed eagles and more!

I don’t know much about birds so I was delighted to learn that some owls can see better than humans during the day! I even got to hold an owl when they were calling for volunteers 🦉

*Pro-tip: Sit in the first row for more chances to interact with the birds!

The presentation lasted an hour and the birds were pretty chill. There’s also an eagle hold experience (AU$30) available at the end of the show but my arms are not strong enough for that 😳

If you’re visiting the centre on your own, consider staying for the reptile presentation (AU$24/adult) that happens daily at 1PM.

Cost: AU$30/adult (included in the tour) Birds of Prey Presentation timings: 11:30AM, 2:30PM Opening hours: 11AM – 4PM How to get there: 1hr drive from Penneshaw SeaLink Ferry Terminal ( Google Maps )

Lunch at Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil Distillery

The next stop is lunch at Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Oil Distillery’s cafe. The tour includes a three-course meal but the cafe also offers cider tastings for AU$10/paddle and sells coffee and wines made on the island.

Plus there’s also a rescued joey, Star, who occasionally hops around the cafe and gift shop so try to find her to meet a kangaroo on Kangaroo Island 🌚

We then went on a tour around the distillery to learn more about how this family-run business makes eucalyptus oil — the entire place smelled like a spa shop. I even spotted an emu hiding in the shade on the grounds!

Our guide also shared that Kangaroo Island is rich in Eucalyptus trees as they are super resilient — regenerating quickly after a wildfire incident struck the island a few years ago.

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 9AM – 4PM How to get there:  20min drive from Raptor Domain ( Google Maps )

Visit the stunning Pennington Bay

Pennington Bay offers a postcard-perfect view of Kangaroo Island’s untouched coastline.

The tour bus only stopped by the lookout point for us to snap some pictures, but this beach is actually popular amongst locals for surfing in June thanks to the powerful waves. Dolphins and whales can sometimes be seen from the shore so bring binoculars to spot them!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 24 hours How to get there: 20min drive from Emu Ridge Eucalyptus Distillery ( Google Maps )

Wine tasting at False Cape Wines

Kangaroo Island is also a wine region, so visit False Cape Wines for a wine-tasting sesh. At almost 60 acres, it’s the largest vineyard on the island.

We did a tasting while overlooking the lush green vines and tried eight different wines at their cellar door. The flavour profiles were pretty interesting — some peppery and even spicy! My favourite is the Fortified Shiraz which tasted like Christmas in a cup thanks to the brandy mix.

The cellar door is open for walk-ins and there are various wine flights available from AU$12!

Entrance fee: Free Opening hours: 11AM – 5PM How to get there: 25min drive from Pennington Bay ( Google Maps )

Dinner with a sea view at Penneshaw

The final stop before catching the ferry back to the mainland was at Penneshaw War Memorial Park , where we had free time to grab dinner at our own expense. There were four options — Fire and Smoke , the Kiosk , Penneshaw Pub and a supermarket.

I elected to take away pizza from the Kiosk so I had more time to bask in the amazing ocean views from the park. I even found a small trail that leads to a boardwalk lookout point.

How to get there: 15min drive from False Cape Wines ( Google Maps )

Day 6: McLaren Vale and Adelaide City

Get lost in the d’arenberg cube.

The d’Arenberg Cube is the iconic symbol of the McLaren Vale wine region and is at the top of every Adelaide itinerary. It’s also the quirkiest cellar door I’ve ever been to in my life.

d’Arenberg is a family-owned label and the current owner designed the building and everything inside it. Sitting in the centre of a vineyard, the five-storey building is intentionally designed to look like a floating Rubik’s cube. Psst, it looks like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory on the inside!

The Cube features a Tasting Room, a restaurant, two different art exhibitions, and a private function area.

Wine tastings are held on the top floor where there are panoramic views of the rolling green hills of McLaren Vale. Given that d’Arenberg grows more than 25 grape varieties, sampling a wine flight (from AU$20/pax) is a great introduction to the historic label.

Not sure what to try? Leave it up to fate and spin the d’Arenberg wheel to find your wine — I got #37: The Athazagoraphobic Cat.

On the third floor, there’s a Salvadore Dalí exhibition that features over 25 authentic bronze sculptures and works. It’s the largest Dali collection in the Southern Hemisphere. Works by Picasso, Billich and Ted Johnson are also displayed in this exhibition.

There’s also another exhibition on the ground floor, the Alternate Realities Museum , which is the creative brainchild of the owner. It’s an interactive and immersive exhibition whereby every artwork, sculpture and room is designed by him — including the urinals #IYKYK

They are eccentric, to say the least…so expect the unexpected! It’s definitely the highlight of my visit to the Cube.

Entrance fee: AU$30/pax (incl. entry to the d’Arenberg Cube, the Alternate Realities Museum, the Salvador Dali exhibition and wine tasting)  Opening hours: 10:30AM – 4:30PM How to get there: 50min drive from Vibe Hotel Adelaide ( Google Maps )

Go shopping at Rundle Mall

I then headed back to the city to do some last-minute shopping at Rundle Mall . Contrary to its name, Rundle Mall is a long pedestrian street with many shops, supermarkets and shopping arcades. There are many sculptures iconic to Adelaide like the Malls Balls and Dali’s Triumphant Elephant along the street, plus the street buskers made the vibes 💯

If you’re wondering whether I raided the Kmart, Chemist Warehouse and Coles there — my wallet is still recovering.

Opening hours: 9AM – 5:30PM (Mon – Thu), 9AM – 9PM (Fri), 9AM – 5PM (Sat – Sun) How to get there: 50min drive from the d’Arenberg Cube ( Google Maps )

Dinner at Daughter in Law

End the trip on a high with dinner at Daughter in Law , the most colourful restaurant on the East End.

It felt like a 1990s fever dream with flower garlands covering the ceiling, neon lights and Rasputin playing in the background. They say they serve “unauthentic Australian Indian cuisine” — so don’t expect the spiciness levels of Indian food in Singapore!

If you’re in a large group, we recommend getting the Feed Me Menu (AU$69/pax) to try a bit of everything. It comes with a variety of appetisers, curries, mains, rice, naan , papadum and dessert! Everything was saur good and surprisingly close to authenticity asides from the highly addictive Colonal Tso’s Cauliflower — it was more like Chinese sweet and sour sauce.

Cost:   From AU$18/dish Opening hours:  5PM – 9PM (Sun – Thu), 5PM – 10PM (Fri – Sat) How to get there:  11min walk from Rundle Mall ( Google Maps )

Where to stay in Adelaide

Vibe hotel adelaide.

Opened in March 2023, Vibe Hotel is one of the newest hotels in Adelaide’s CBD. The rooms are modern and new, with many amenities like bath salts and shower products. This made the stay feel elevated and luxurious!

The service at this hotel was also wonderful, with delicious mains like egg benedict served for breakfast instead of the usual buffet spread.

While it’s located on a quieter street, it’s still a convenient 10-minute walk to the East End and a 15-minute walk to Rundle Mall.

Cost : From ~S$300/night for an Urban Retreat Room King (up to 2pax) Address: 260 Flinders St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia ( Google Maps )

ibis Adelaide

If you’re looking for something less pricey, ibis Adelaide is a budget-friendly option while still being in a prime location. Adjacent to Rundle Mall, the hotel is a 3-minute walk to supermarkets, arcades and bus stops.

While the rooms are simpler with fewer amenities, the floor-to-ceiling view of the city made waking up for sunrises worth it.

Cost: From ~S$150/night for a Superior Room, Queen Bed with City View (up to 2pax) Address: 122 Grenfell St, Adelaide SA 5000, Australia ( Google Maps )

Getting to Adelaide

Singapore Airlines is the only carrier that offers direct flights to Adelaide. There’s only one outbound flight per day (6.5 hours) and it’s an overnight flight — giving you a full day to explore after landing!

I spent most of the flight watching the latest Hollywood movies on their in-flight entertainment system while enjoying free cocktails. They also served a mid-flight snack on top of the meal service, so I was never hungry.

But the best part is the complimentary WiFi for KrisFlyer members . This is great for those who need to stay connected with family or work — I mainly used it to scroll social media 🙈

If we’ve convinced you to give Adelaide a shot, don’t miss this Singapore Airlines flight promo ! 🤩 All-in return fares to Adelaide on Economy Class from S$958 Sale period: From now to 22 April 2024 Outbound travel period: Between 6 August 2024 to 28 February 2025 (Selected periods only. Blackout periods apply.) 👉🏼 Learn more and book your flights

Getting around Adelaide

Public transport: Buses and trams operate every 10 – 15min. If you’re heading to the beach, trams are the cheapest and most convenient way to get there. Plus, there’s a free tram zone within the CBD!

Taxi or ride-hailing: As public transport only starts running more frequently after 7AM, take Uber or Didi for early tour reporting times. Some hotels also have taxi call buttons.

Self-drive: Renting a car is the best option for those who plan on spending more time outside of the city. It gives more flexibility and control over your Adelaide itinerary.

The ‘Adelaide-is-boring’ stereotype has officially been debunked 🎉

South Australia surprised me with its vibrant art scene, gorgeous nature views and friendly locals. It was heartwarming to see a region regard their local businesses, attractions and artists with so much support, inclusivity and passion. It’s truly one of the most underrated cities in Australia.

I’m already planning my next Adelaide itinerary to check out all the things I missed out on!

11 FUN ADELAIDE DAY TRIP IDEAS

If you have seen the city centre and want to explore a little further afield these Adelaide day trip ideas may just be the inspiration you need to see a little more of the regions surrounding South Australia’s capital city .

Last year we spent 5 weeks road tripping in South Australia, exploring the wine region s , and discovering the beauty of Kangaroo Island , and all the hidden nooks in the Adelaide city centre, including its fabulous street art . We fell in love with this less visited state and so today we bring you some more great options to add to your South Australia itinerary.

To supplement our own experiences, cause even in five weeks we couldn’t cover it all, we reached out to some of our travel-loving friends for their suggestions. If you’re stuck for ideas when planning day tours from Adelaide, consider some of these best days out.

Adelaide Hills Day Trip

Burra – a perfect day trip for history lovers, cape jervis – a wildlife lovers’ day trip, clare – perfect for food, wine and cycling, granite island – explore the outdoors, kangaroo island – animal and nature wonderland, monarto safari park, parra wirra conservation park, port adelaide – street art, museums and more, port noarlunga, the barossa valley.

This post contains affiliate links. Our full disclosure policy is here .

The Adelaide Hills have some lovely scenery and dozens of little villages to explore. Whether it’s wineries, wildlife, or walking –a day trip to the  Adelaide Hills has something for everyone. In as little as 20 minutes from the city centre, you can be walking through the Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens, cuddling koalas at Cleland Conservation Park , and watching the sunset from the Mount Lofty Summit. Buses run to these locations from the city centre.

You can also bus to the historic German town of Hahndorf. You can spend a day walking along the main street, visiting the many galleries, craft, and gourmet food shops. If you over-indulge the sauerkraut and schnitzels, there are plenty of pubs, and B and B’s where you can spend the night. If you are travelling with children, visit the Big Rocking Horse in Gumeracha and the Farm Barn in Hahndorf. Melba Chocolates in Woodside is also a bit of yummy fun too.

Tip : Be aware, when you visit the hills, it can be five or more degrees cooler than it is in Adelaide!

Depending on when you visit, there are opportunities to do some fruit picking. Check out Beerenberg for strawberries and Glen Ewin Estate for figs. The National Motor Museum in Birdwood is a must-see if you’re a petrolhead. With over 50 wineries, wine tasting is always an option. An Adelaide Hills wine tour is a great day out. The views from some cellar doors are spectacular.

Distance from Adelaide : It’s only 20 minutes from the city to Mount Lofty, a little further to Hardorf. The Adelaide Hills are best explored by car; however, you can explore Hardorf or Mount Lofty using the local bus from the city. Google map reference: Adelaide Hills

History lovers should consider a visit to Burra

Rich in mining heritage,  Burra  is a unique day trip from Adelaide for history lovers. Established in 1848 after the discovery of copper, the Burra ‘Monster Mine” became one of the largest mines in the country. The mine attracted droves of miners from Cornwall in England, who flocked to Burra for work and later settled in the region.

The best way to explore Burra’s history is to go on the Burra Heritage Passport tour, which provides access to 46 impressive sites including the Redruth Gaol, the cellars of the Unicorn Brewery, and Burra’s dugouts. And don’t forget the Bon Accord Mine Museum and the Monster Mine. Visiting these places is a step back into Burra’s days of glory, and you can pick up a key from the town’s visitor centre. Leave some time to wander down the main street and browse through the galleries, antique shops, and gift stores. Tip : Stop for afternoon tea at Good Golly Miss Polly for a Cornish pastie, a sweet treat, and a friendly chat with the locals.

Distance from Adelaide : Burra is 165 km from Adelaide and is about a two-hour drive. The best way to get to Burra is to drive. It’s possible to get to Burra by taking the train from Adelaide to Gawler, and there’s a bus from Gawler to Burra once a week. Google map reference: Burra

An easy hour-and-a-half drive from Adelaide, Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula is a perfect day-trip destination from South Australia’s capital.

Many visitors use Cape Jervis as a jumping-off point for getting to the beautifully wild  Kangaroo Island . However, bypassing everything there is to see and do in this part of the Fleurieu Peninsula means missing out on some beautiful destinations. Situated right on the coast, the area is teeming with incredible ocean views, walking trails, and relaxing beaches. Just in town is the Cape Jervis Lighthouse, the perfect destination for watching the sunset with a picnic or whales passing by from June to October. Locally owned and sourced foods from Leonard’s Mill make the perfect picnic meal, and their onsite restaurant and accommodation allow for a luxurious visit. Nearby Blowhole Beach is just enough off the beaten track, about two kilometres from the car park, to be a peaceful place to relax by the water. Tip: Wildlife lovers will also enjoy hiking around the Deep Creek Conservation Park, where all manner of native Australian animals can be spotted out and about.

Distance from Adelaide : Cape Jervis is a 90-minute drive from Adelaide. While public transportation via the Sealink bus is available, exploring nearby sites requires a car. You can also take a day tour . Google map reference: Cape Jervis Lighthouse

Christa and Jason from Expedition Wildlife suggest a trip to Cape Jervis

Clare makes a lovely day trip from the South Australian capital city. Our favourite thing to do here is to visit the many wineries within the region. We have done the trip a few times from Adelaide for the day, once by car, another on a winery tour, and finally where we took our bikes and rode around the region on a self-guided bike tour. 

Our biking experience in Clare was our favourite. The region is lovely, the bike trails are easily accessible, and the wineries welcome cyclists. We planned our day before we left, stopped at two wineries, and made a booking at Skillogallee for lunch outside in the gardens. It was such a great day and the best way to experience all that the region has to offer. There are also organised cycling tours through the Clare Valley which can be taken as a day or overnight trip.

Distance from Adelaide : Clare is located approximately 135km north of Adelaide, with a drive time of a little over 90 minutes. The public transport option is not appealing, taking closer to three hours, so we suggest a day tour, Clare Uncorked if you don’t fancy renting a car. Google map reference: Clare

A must-do day trip from Adelaide for nature lovers and history buffs is a trip to the majestic Granite Island Recreation Park.

Once you arrive, take a hike along the 2.9km Kaiki Walking trail to see what this Island is all about! You’ll be immersed in the beauty of the unusual granite formations, and breathtaking panoramic views and feel the power of the ocean with the crashing waves.

This trail also includes the creative sculpture trail, which features art from local, national and international artists. 

A colony of little penguins lives on the island, providing an excellent opportunity to view these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Dusk is the best time to view the little penguins returning from their day at sea. Take advantage of whale watching season, to view the majestic whales migrating to the warmer waters of South Australia to give birth and nurse their young. The season runs from May 1st to October 31st.

Distance from Adelaide: Granite Island is easily accessible from the beautiful seaside town of Victor Harbor, located 84km from Adelaide. Driving will get you the most freedom but you can also take a bus. LinkSA operates daily services from Adelaide to Victor Harbor. From Victor Harbor, take a short stroll to the Island or take the historic horse tram ride over the wooden causeway. Google map reference: Granite Island

Kangaroo Island is well worth the travel time even for a day trip if you can’t spare a couple of nights.

When it comes to beautiful places near Adelaide, nothing can beat Kangaroo Island (KI). White sandy beaches, wineries, a unique national parks, koalas… it has it all! It’s a bit like a mini version of Australia!

As you get to KI, the first thing you should check out are the beaches. Vivonne Bay, Stokes Bay, and Emu Bay are stunning! The sand is white and soft, the waters crystal clear… it’s paradise!  After that, head to Flinders Chase National Park and walk up to the Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch. These unique natural landmarks are iconic! 

Did you know: Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-biggest island and is bigger than Bali and Singapore!

Tip : On your way back, make sure to stop at one of the wineries and try some oysters! The Oyster farm in the American River is the perfect place for that! Dudley Wines in Penneshaw is also a great place.

For people who aren’t fans of the traditional zoo,  Monarto Safari Park is worth checking out. An easy hour’s drive from Adelaide; you’ll have no trouble at all spending the day there.

Spread over 1500 hectares, Monarto Safari Park has the honour of being the largest open plains zoo in the southern hemisphere, as well as one of the world’s largest. Over fifty species of native and exotic animals live within the grounds of the park, all with space to call their own. The design of the park can enable better views and photographs of the animals than you would see at a more traditional zoo, including being face-to-face with a Giraffe at their head level! There are also a variety of experiences on offer where visitors can get up close with Meerkats, Giraffes, Cheetahs, and Chimps. You can either choose to walk through the park, or hop on and off the loop bus as you want. Monarto also plays a hugely important role in the education and conservation of wildlife. Run by a conservation charity dedicated to saving species from extinction, the park runs successful breeding programs. It is home to species of animals that no longer exist in the wild.

Distance from Adelaide : Monarto Safari Park is a 50-minute drive from the centre of Adelaide. While it is easiest to drive, LinkSA also offers a bus that runs from Adelaide during the week.   Google map reference: Monarto Safari Park

For a great day out during your Adelaide visit, head down to the historic maritime precinct of Port Adelaide. Spend your time in Port Adelaide exploring one of the great museums. It will be no surprise that this is the location of the South Australian Maritime Museum, but you will also find the National Railway Museum and the South Australian Aviation Museum.

Wander down to the wharf and jump aboard a dolphin cruise. This will take you up and down the Port River, the home to a pod of dolphins that love to show off. Learn about the industrial past and present of the area.  Explore the maritime area further by visiting the historic “City of Adelaide” clipper ship which is slowly being restored, or admire the tall sailing ships “One & All” and “Falie” which are usually tied up right on the wharf.

There are plenty of restaurants and pubs for all types of dining. Relax with a craft beer at Pirate Life Brewing. If you choose to stay into the evening, take a ghost tour through some of the old buildings, searching for ghosts and hearing tales of daring and disaster.

As you are walking from place to place, keep your eyes open for some of the fantastic street art. There are more than fifty murals gracing the walls of Port Adelaide.

A short 40-minute drive from Adelaide is the stunning red sandstone cliffs that line the beach at Port Noarlunga. This seaside village is a gorgeous place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. Stroll the beach and admire the sandstone cliffs, or swim in the crystal clear waters.

Adelaide is one of Australia’s best cities to explore. But it is also what is found outside of it, which adds to any trip out in South Australia. One place that cannot be missed is the iconic Barossa Valley wine region. Here, some of the world’s most renowned wines can be tasted (and taken home) – because how could you leave without some bottles to enjoy later?

When it comes to quality wineries, there are many unmissable drops to try out here, and amazing scenery as well; both of which will only add to your time here. My favourite wine is the Barossa Shiraz by Chris Ringland. It’s my favourite Australian Shiraz in the country. Other notable winery stops worth mentioning are Yalumba (which is steeped in history), Chateau Tanunda (with its iconic architecture), and Kies Family Wines (family-owned, but live by quality over quantity). 

You can’t go wrong starting at any of these on any Barossa day out or overnight visit. So make sure you make it out there.

You can drive out to the Barossa, but a private bus tour is a way to go since you can drink all the wines and not have to worry about how to get home. A wine tour can take it out of you, no matter how you pace it. There are several options available from Adelaide.

This Barossa Valley Food and Wine experience includes two of Barossa’s respected wineries, Maggie Beer’s farm shop, and Barossa Valley Chocolates.
