Overview
Take a trip to Adelaide on your Australia Vacation
Adelaide is a picturesque city with a relaxed atmosphere. As the capital of South Australia and the country's fifth-largest city, it's ideal for walking, with plentiful parks and historical architecture. Planned with wide boulevards and large public spaces, Adelaide is surrounded by the Mount Lofty Ranges and the Adelaide Hills and is well known for its festivals, including the world's largest cabaret festival, and the biannual Adelaide Festival, which features opera, theatre and other types of entertainment.
On Adelaide's doorstep, you can sip your way through the famous Barossa Valley wine region, hop on a local tram to the charming seaside resort of Glenelg or take a short flight or ferry ride to Kangaroo Island, where you can see perhaps the most diverse collection of uniquely Australian animals in their natural habitat.
Adelaide is also the starting point of the very special Indian Pacific or Ghan trains. The Indian Pacific travels west to Perth, while the latter travels north to Alice Springs and Darwin. Both offer great ways to see the more remote, yet scenic side of the Australian outback.

Tasmania is under the radar for many travelers, but it’s great for hikes, natural landscapes and now modern art!
Sydney and Melbourne are a great combination for first-time visitors to Australia, with Brisbane, Adelaide and/or the Outback added in, depending on how much time you have. Returnees should take in Perth, Darwin and the Kakadu National Park area and/or Tasmania if they can, plus spend some time in the cities they loved the first time around
It might sound cliche, but you really can visit year-round. Australia is a big country, so there is always somewhere with amazing weather!
