Experience Adelaide: what to see and do

Adelaide is the only state capital that was never a convict settlement. It was founded entirely by free people and today it’s a sophisticated and cultured spot for wine tours and fine dining. From the beaches to the vineyards, here’s what to see and do while visiting Adelaide.

Adelaide essentials

Glenelg: This historic beach suburb is the best place to catch some sun at the beach and swim. Don’t miss a ride on the beautiful ferris wheel and historic carousel at The Beachhouse right on the waterfront.

WOMADelaide: WOMADelaide is one of the world’s best music events and it descends onto Adelaide ever year in March. More than 300 artists, performers and musicians take the stages to perform. It’s not to be missed but be prepared to share the city with plenty of crowds.

Adelaide Zoo: Adelaide Zoo is one of the most impressive zoos in the world and is one of the few places to see giant pandas, called Wang Wang and Funi. More than 1,800 exotic and native animals call this place home.
