While you're here

Explore the beautiful and leafy Adelaide city centre. One of the city’s most treasured and spectacular features is the 760,000 square metres of Park Lands wrapping around the CBD. Take a leisurely stroll through the Park Lands, shop at the world famous Adelaide Central Market and feast at some of Australia’s best restaurants - including Station Road.

Visit ExperienceAdelaide.com.au to find out what’s on, where to go, what to see and do, and more. When you’re out for an event, why not make a night out of it and book to have lunch or dinner at one of the countless eateries along the CBD’s and North Adelaide’s streets and laneways, with various different cuisines and experience to enjoy.

Stay in the heart of the Festival to make the most of your time - the beautiful InterContinental Adelaide is just a short walk away from most of the venues. We can also recommend some of Adelaide’s newest hotels – Hotel Indigo Adelaide Markets and The Sofitel Adelaide.

You’ll find it all in Rundle Mall this Festival season. Shop global brands and local favourites, discover a curated schedule of entertainment and world-class street performers as well as a range of bars, restaurants, and eateries.

If you appreciate contemporary art and design or a love for galleries, collections and exhibitions then Adelaide’s North Terrace is a must visit precinct. A few hours along North Terrace and you will get a glimpse of our cultural past and our exciting, creative future.

No matter what your idea of fun is, there's no better way to experience the city than with Experience Adelaide.
