| Welcome to Adelaide . . . Fine food, great wine, a sense of history and the good life – can all be found in the elegant City of Adelaide – the capital of South Australia and home to more than a million people. Adelaide is a feast in every way. In fact it’s said there are more restaurants per head of population here than anywhere else in Australia. Adelaide is also where much of the Aussie cuisine delighting the world is being created. Offices here are just as likely to be housed in gracious Victorian or Edwardian structures as in modern towers, and colonial-era homes are lovingly preserved – their verandas and Adelaide lace ironwork intact. Cafes and designer boutiques reside in buildings of a bygone era. It’s thanks to surveyor Colonel William Light that Adelaide is a planned City. In 1836 Colonel Light laid out the City in a grid pattern, interspersed with Squares, and surrounded by a garland of Park Lands. Although there have been some changes, that City is what you see today. If you would like to experience first hand the wonders of the City, its architecture and history, take one of our Historical Walking Trails? Every two years, the Adelaide Festival of Arts and the Festival Fringe bring the City a world-class extravaganza of cultural delights – these and other festivals dotted throughout the year, give Adelaide its title as the "Festival City". North Terrace is a boulevard of Arts in the West End, flowing into the serene, green Botanic Gardens. Rundle Street runs parallel, lined with cafes, bars and restaurants – the bustling hub of the East End.You can shop at leisure in Rundle Mall, take in the enticing tastes and smells of the Central Market and at the end of the day, enjoy the stimulating nightlife of Hindley Street and the West End. You’re just 20 minutes from the tranquillity of the Adelaide Hills to the east, while a selection of superb sandy beaches, including Glenelg, awaits to the west. Adelaide is the wine capital of Australia – six out of the top 10 Australian wines are made within a few hours’ drive of the City. Adelaide offers a relaxed yet sophisticated City environment for residents and visitors alike – the perfect gateway to South Australia’s many and varied attractions.
