Today’s weatherGetting around
Adelaide, a city within a park, is a planned city with grid-like streets. Separating the parklands from the square-mile CBD on all sides are the ‘Terraces’: North Terrace, South Terrace, East Terrace, and West Terrace. The National Wine Centre is located on North Terrace.
Stroll along North Terrace, Adelaide’s cultural boulevard
From the National Wine Centre, visit the adjacent Adelaide Botanic Gardens for the beauty, tranquillity, and architecture. The beautiful glass Palm House may be the last remaining of its kind in the world, and the striking Bicentennial Conservatory is also worth a visit.
The Art Gallery of South Australia is a short stroll along North Terrace from the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, and is at the heart of Adelaide’s cultural boulevard.
Just next to the Art Gallery is the South Australian Museum, which is home to the most comprehensive collection of Australian Aboriginal cultural material in the world. Neighbours to the South Australian Museum are the State Library of South Australia and Migration Museum.
Further along North Terrace is the Adelaide BioMed City, the health innovation and translation district. The Adelaide BioMed City is home to the third most expensive building in the world and the largest building in Australia, the state-of-the-art Royal Adelaide Hospital. A free tram runs along North Terrace from the Botanic Gardens tram stop to the Royal Adelaide Hospital
