Right in the heart of Adelaide CBD, the Adelaide Botanic Gardens offer a peaceful escape from the city's buzz. Spanning 50 hectares, it’s a beautiful spot for a quiet stroll through rose gardens, lush wetlands and green spaces. Step inside the impressive glasshouses to discover tropical rainforests, Madagascan palms and giant Amazonian water lilies. First opened in 1857, the Gardens are also home to the State Herbarium, a vital centre for plant research and conservation. It’s the perfect blend of nature, history and science, right in the middle of the city.

As the wine capital of Australia, visitors to Adelaide can't go past the National Wine Centre of Australia. Take a self-guided tour through the interactive Wine Discovery Journey, sample from an extensive range at the Tasting Room, or join a masterclass to deepen your knowledge. Offering a broad range of experiences for wine-lovers, industry professionals and tourists, this attraction is conveniently located on the edge of Adelaide CBD and is a must-visit.

If you’re looking for a shady spot to unwind, a fully-fenced playground for children, or a peaceful place to stretch your legs, Linde Reserve in Stepney offers it all. Located within the reserve, green-thumbed guests will love exploring the Linde Community Garden - a community space where locals come together to grow, share, and connect.

As one of Adelaide's most iconic attractions and beloved by locals and visitors alike, Adelaide Zoo is a must-see. The zoo is home to more than 2,400 animals and is dedicated to protecting animals and their habitats from extinction. It’s the perfect place to get up close to your favorite furry friends, and for a more interactive experience, you can feed the pandas and meerkats through the Animal Experiences program. The zoo is also accessible via public transport, making it a great option for a family outing.
