Adelaide Tours, Attractions, Activities and Things to do
Situated on the Great Australian Bight; Adelaide is known as ‘The City of Churches’ and it lives up to its reputation with over 700 churches in and around the city. Adelaide is rich in history and impressive architecture and has a laid back Australian feel to it which can be attributed to the strong connection between the coast and the outback. The capital of South Australia and Australia’s fifth largest city; Adelaide has a population of approximately 1.5 million people and was founded in 1836. The city hosts a wide variety of music festivals and sporting events which entices people from around the country and the world to join in the festivities. The major sports in Adelaide are Aussie Rules Football and Cricket and the historic Adelaide oval plays host to an International cricket test every summer which is a major drawcard for Australian and international visitors alike.
In the City you will find a hustling bustling business district with a very down to earth feel. Boasting a wide variety of beautiful restaurants and cafe’s you will always find a good place to indulge and enjoy fine food and wine. Adelaide’s central market is vibrant and lively and will give you a feel for the lifestyle of the people and the city. The markets can be seen on one of the many Adelaide day tours or as part of the coach tours around Adelaide that will take you sightseeing and show you some of the major attractions, activities and things to do throughout the city. A wildlife tour, trip on the Murray River or tour to Victor harbour might be more your style of adventure but any which way you do it, take the time to explore the city of Adelaide and you will certainly have some wonderful experiences.
