Adelaide City Laneways & Park Walk
Walk Adelaide's distinctive grid of city parklands, heritage laneways, and the emerging bar and cafe scene in the East End and surrounds — a city where 19th century planning preserved green space that other Australian cities long ago built over.

Adelaide Parklands North Terrace
The Adelaide Parklands encircle the entire city grid — the 930-hectare greenbelt that Colonel Light planned in 1836 is extraordinary by any measure, giving Adelaide more parkland per capita than any other major city in Australia.

Rymill Park / Murlawirrapurka
Rymill Park in the East Parklands has a boating lake, velodrome, and rose garden — the park's Kaurna name Murlawirrapurka reconnects the space to its pre-colonial significance as part of the landscape of the Kaurna people.

Peel Street Bar Laneway
Peel Street is Adelaide's most celebrated bar laneway — the narrow lane between Hindley and Gouger Streets has become the centre of Adelaide's cocktail bar scene, with venues that have earned national recognition for their quality.
- 4
The East End Rundle Street
The Rundle Street East End is Adelaide's bohemian main street — outdoor dining under street trees, independent fashion, art galleries, and the weekend market create a street culture that makes this the social centrepiece of inner Adelaide.
- 5
Adelaide Oval
Adelaide Oval is Australia's most beautiful cricket ground — the restored 1871 stadium with its scoreboard, Members Pavilion, and cathedral-like scale overlooks the River Torrens and is considered the finest cricket venue in the country.

River Torrens Linear Park
The River Torrens Linear Park follows the river from the hills to the sea — the 35-km walking and cycling path through the city centre connects the Zoo, Elder Park, the Festival Centre, and Adelaide Oval in a continuous green corridor.
