Easy to get to - the tram stops right at the foreshore. The sands stretch into the distance, inviting a walk. Jetty Road has lots of diverse shops. The sun sets over the water - a beautiful photo op!

You'll need to be good at public transport to make the connections, or hire a car - but it's definitely worth checking out. Fabulous way to meet Australian animals and birds in enclosures you walk in.

A popular walking trail from Waterfall Gully to Mt Lofty (and visa versa) with a cafe at each end, a well made path and regular seating. If you enjoy a good walk/hike, there are plenty of trails in Adelaide - whether easy, short, long, or difficult, there are plenty to choose from. Many can be accessed via public transport. And keep the camera handy! There's a great website listing walking trails that may be of interest. https://www.alltrails.com/australia/south-australia/walking

Rymill Park hosts many festivals, and is a lovely area to stroll around - right on the edge of the CBD itself. The area by the lake is a very lovely spot to relax.

Транспорт

We recommend the tram.

Tram is 5 mins walk away on Glengyle Ave. Trams come every 15 mins. Regular and reliable. New trams make them very comfortable. We keep Metrocards in the guest folder at home that can be topped up on the tram. Or single tickets can be purchased at the machine on the tram (payment by cash, credit card). Only one tram line - to Glenelg (beach) and to city and onward to Entertainment Centre, so can't get lost!! Bus is also easy to access with the bus stop next to the Centro (Kmart) shops on Anzac Highway.
