What is adelaide like?
Was there last year for a week in June as part of my Oz holiday. Very nicely laid out, surrounded by lots of parks. Central Adelaide is compact enough, and there are some free bus and tram services (just in the centre) so quite a lot of people don’t bring in their cars, and the place has a rather pedestrian feel. There are several museums and art galleries, all worth a look, and a street (Rundle Mall) full of little market shops that you can spend ages browsing through. I found the people very friendly and helpful. It is dark by 6pm, as it is all over Australia (closer to the Equator than UK), but even in June, their winter, days were sunny and warm, and an outdoorsy type of lifestyle is normal. Compared with other larger cities, it may appear a bit more conservative, but that is really just the buildings and the city layout. The people were great. I’d gladly jump at the chance to go again. Go, and enjoy your visit !!
