The lowdown on South Australia’s city of churches, from grand old buildings to fashion and food.
The thing about Adelaide is that to really make the most of the city you need someone to point you in the right direction. Many of its unorthodox and unexpected treasures are somewhat hard to find – hidden down a city alleyway or on a university campus. For a relatively small city, Adelaide sprawls over quite a large area, so a hire car is recommended.
