Adelaide, Australia

Often called Australia’s most liveable city, Adelaide is known for its relaxed charm, wine culture, and calendar full of festivals. Nestled between rolling hills and pristine beaches, it’s a place where you can explore art galleries, sip wine in the Barossa Valley, and swim at Glenelg Beach — all in one day. With its grid layout, free trams, and friendly locals, Adelaide is easy to get around and full of surprises for travellers who take the time to explore.

Average costs in this area

Transportation – Adelaide has an easy-to-use Metro system, with buses, trains, and trams. Fares with a MetroCARD are usually AUD $3–$5, and the tram is free within the city centre. Walking and biking are also popular and convenient.

Food – Adelaide’s food scene is strong, especially around Central Market, Chinatown, and the beach suburbs. A casual meal will cost around AUD $15–25, while dinner at a mid-range restaurant runs AUD $40–60. Don’t miss local wine, wood-fired pizza, or a Balfours pie floater for something truly South Aussie.
