OVERVIEW
Adelaide, capital of South Australia, has a Mediterranean atmosphere as it streches across the Torrens River. The city was founded in 1836 by Colonel Light in a colonial style.
The churches, civic buildings, cafes, museums and galleries of the inner city can be explored on foot. Visitors who love culture are invited to join festivals. If you enjoy open air activities along the river, there are parklands, walking paths, sports and picnic areas.
Visitors cannot miss the Adelaide Zoo and Cleland Wildlife Park, which shows local animals: typical birds, koalas and kangaroos.You can find the restored Mortlock Library, the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum with its amazing whale skeleton and collection of Aboriginal natural history in the North Terrace, the main boulevard.
You can embrace aboriginal culture by visiting Tandanya, a cultural centre where there are galleries, shows and a cafe serving native cuisine. Visitors can also take a cruise or gondola ride on the Torrens River, or ride a typical tram to Glenelg, a nearby seaside town, with its beautiful white sandy beach.
For people who enjoy cooking and eating, Adelaide's Central Market is the right destination. It offers a selection of fruit, vegetable, meat and fish stores together with gourmet specialities.
