Adelaide, often hailed as one of the most well-planned cities in the world, is a beautiful center of culture and excitement. As the wine and festival capital of Australia, Adelaide is a perfect location for the Feast festival, a Gay and Lesbian celebration that hosts 23 exciting and culturally-diverse days of theatre, cabaret, film, forums, literature, dance, visual arts, tourism, sporting and community events.

Other reasons to visit Adelaide include a vibrant arts scene (it's the host of the annual Bank Festival of the Arts), great shopping, and great local wine: there are literally dozens of wineries within a few hours' travel.

Australia's first shopping mall, located on Rundle Street, is now one of the busiest shopping pedestrian arcades, and is the retail backbone of the CBD. Also in the city centre, the central market is an unforgettable experience. With dozens of fresh food and specialty stalls, Asian grocery stores and a host of excellent cafes and food halls, you're sure to find a wide variety of unique South Australian products.  King William Road at Hyde Park is great for fashion and design, while Glen Osmond Road at Eastwood is the centre for "seconds" and clearance shops.
