Getting Out & About in Adelaide

Adelaide is a stunning, relaxed city that plays host to so many events and festivals throughout the year., including Adelaide Arts and Comedy Festival. The city is the capital of South Australia and fairly busy throughout the year. You will notice a definite rush hour in Adelaide and the city does become quite popular during weekend summers - so drive times might increase.

There is so much to see and do outside of the city itself, too. If you head east, out of the city on the M1, you will quickly come across Mount Lofty, and the drive up to the lookout point. It’s a good hike to the summit, with a beautiful view over the city, particularly at Sunset. However, one of the most popular weekend trips from Adelaide is up to Barossa Valley. Indulge in a vino or two and don’t forget to sample some of the incredible fresh produce.

Adelaide is also a great place to start a road trip, whether you’re heading East towards Melbourne, or embarking west and along the incredible, open roads towards the beaches of Esperance.
