Adelaide doesn't shout for attention, and that's exactly what makes it worth visiting. It's a city that rewards those who take their time – world class wine regions sitting just 30 minutes from the CBD, a food and festival culture that punches well above its weight, and beaches like Glenelg that are far less crowded than anything you'd find on the east coast.
