When packing for a holiday in Adelaide, there are a few essentials you won't want to forget. Comfortable walking shoes for exploring, as well as sunscreen and a hat for sun-drenched days by the beach, because nothing ruins a holiday quite like sunburn on the first day. Last, but by no means least, be sure to pack your appetite, as Adelaide is home to some of the best food and wine in Australia.

Adelaide is a city with plenty of options for a fun-filled holiday. Take a stroll through the vibrant Central Market to indulge in delicious local produce or get up close with new furry friends at the Adelaide Zoo. For a dose of history and culture, head to the Art Gallery of South Australia or take a walk through the picturesque Adelaide Botanic Garden. Let's not forget about the stunning beaches just a short drive away, such as Glenelg and Semaphore.

It depends on what brings you to Adelaide in the first place. If you’re here for the beautiful beaches, January and February are the best months to make the most of the warm weather. If you don’t mind the cold, June is excellent for whale watching, and if you fancy a drop, summer and autumn are when the local vineyards are harvested, so there’s plenty to see (and sample!). All in all, there’s no bad time to visit Adelaide.

Eat, explore and eat some more. Adelaide boasts an incredible foodie culture, in fact, it has the most restaurants per capita than any other city in Australia! And don’t even get us started on the wine. Adelaide’s wine region produces more than half of the country’s wine, so it stands to reason that there are some excellent sip spots to fill your Adelaide adventure. It isn’t all eating and drinking, Adelaide is also known for its live music, incredible month-long festivals, beautiful botanical gardens, thriving markets, art galleries and historic sites.
