Beaches
Glenelg beach is the most popular among the locals, who enjoy the sunny days on its extensive lawn and restaurants in the region. For those who prefer a quieter option, Henley or Grange offer quiet beaches, with some traditional pubs and charming wooden piers. For lovers of seas with waves, Yorke Peninsula (Pont Sinclair) and Point de Pondalowic are surfers' favourites and are about 40 minutes from the city centre.
Galleries and Museums
North Terrace is the neighborhood that brings together the largest cultural curation institutions in the city. The Art Gallery of South Australia is the most representative of them, and the second largest in Australia in terms of the number of pieces displayed.

Barossa Valley
Barossa Valley is located 60 km from the center of Adelaide, the region where some of the best wines from Australia and the world are produced. There are about 150 wineries where you can learn about the beverage production process and taste the different types of wines.
