North Terrace, Adelaide

Advantages: Fantastic Wines, Excellent Pubs, Cultural Atmosphere, Fab Public Transport
Disadvantages: none

...areas with shops, and they are always excellent to wander around. Norwood, Burnside, Hyde Park, Unley to name a few, have storelined streets that sell everything from household goods to clothes to alcohol to jewelry. They are all easy to reach, and easy to find. *********************************************************************** Adelaide Museums, Galleries and Libraries: *********************************************************************** Adelaide has a very nice museum located on North Terrace. It isn't quite as big as some museums I've been in, but it is a good size and it's easy to spend an afternoon looking around.

Advantages: Well laid out, the Barossa Wine Region
Disadvantages: Travelling time

...the journeys can be long. If I remember rightly I met one person who'd taken the bus from Adelaide to Melbourne and it was a ten hour journey though admittedly through some stunning scenery.

For those on a better budget than I am ever on, Adelaide has loads of hotels of all star-ratings. There’s the Hilton International in Victoria Square and the Hyatt Regency on North Terrace for those who like to live in luxury, but of course there are also plenty of smaller/cheaper hotels, motels and lodges. I personally prefer to stay in hostels, not only because they’re so much cheaper, but also because you can actually get to mix with people in a hostel… ~THE CITY IN DETAIL~ Let me start my tour of Adelaide on King William Street, the main thoroughfare through the city, which runs in a North...
