Kick things off (Day 1)

Variety is king in these parts and hence, a perfect complement to your travel plans and where else better than to commence your adventures in Adelaide than within the central business district? As a starting point, make your way towards Gouger Street and Chinatown where foodies will surely be in their elements as these regions combine in serving up a wholesome and mouthwatering fare, be it local, western or Asian for that matter. With your belly full and satisfied, head off in the direction of King William Street where a host of edifices and buildings will welcome you with open arms, adorned in the finest architecture that you will ever stumble upon. Worthy of mention is the charming and magnificent St. Peter’s Cathedral where time can be spent admiring the richness and authenticity of the stained-glass windows and European architecture that add to the allure of the sanctuary. The remainder of the day can be devoted towards checking out the Central Adelaide Market and shopping at some of the city’s splendid stores. Should you want an experience that will elevate you in more ways than one, then why not go on a twilight roof climb at the Adelaide Oval; the home of Australia’s greatest cricketing sons, Sir Donald Bradman.

Venture deeper (Day 2)

What’s a holiday to Australia devoid of any beach time? For this purpose, Glenelg Beach ought to retain pride of place during much of your 2^nd day out here in Adelaide. Pack your favourite bathing suit, head down to the beach for a much-needed swim or work on that tan you’ve always dreamed of sporting. Before you leave, be sure to tuck into some fish and chips and maybe a few cold ones. From here onwards, put on your mountain climbing hat that will soon have you ascending Mount Lofty from where sprawling vistas of the city might be captured. Farther on, the Beerenberg Strawberry Farm may appeal to you in a manner that will see you not only savouring delicious jams and sauces but also picking the freshest strawberries, just like an Adelaidean would. Not to be outdone, in terms of leisure and cultural value is Hahndorf which is noted as being the oldest settlement of German origin in Australia. Explore the rustic charm of Bavaria where one may mingle and exchange pleasantries with the locals.

Cross the finish line (Day 3)       

Finish off strong and on a high during your time in Adelaide and thus, take steps to travel to Barossa Valley which is famed for housing some of Australia’s best wineries. The local wineries offer a once in a lifetime chance to delve into the heart of winemaking with detailed tours and memorable tasting sessions all part of the journey. For example, read up on what a visit to the National Wine Centre of Australia will entail. Located at the Corner of Botanic & Hackney Roads in Adelaide, this attraction provides visitors with vineyard tours, tasting sessions, interactive displays and a rare opportunity to compare wines from different eras. For those staying at Oaks Adelaide Embassy Suites which is one of the best apartment hotels Adelaide possesses, a visit to the Centre can be conveniently arranged.
