Outdoor Activities in Adelaide
Finding your way around Adelaide and its suburbs is easy; as a general rule if the beach is on your right you're heading south and if the beach is on your left and the hills on your right, you're heading north!. Known as the "20 Minute City", Adelaide has a host of attractions, and they're usually only a short drive away.
On Discover we have kayaked through the mangroves, taken a swim with dolphins off Glenelg, enjoyed sailing journeys from North Haven and visited fascinating museums and galleries. We've also brought the first pictures of Adelaide's newest accommodation properties to our viewers and explored the latest cafe's and restaurants around town.
Adelaide also enjoys a fine reputation as a city of the arts. Lovers of Music, Dance, History and Art revel in the cultural experiences that are on offer here all-year round. With its long strip of suburban beaches, unique parklands, distinctive architecture and Mediterranean climate, the charm and appeal of Adelaide justifies its reputation as one of Australia's most liveable cities.
