Things to do in Adelaide
Even with a population of slightly more than a million, Adelaide is a city where the residents feel they’ve got all the breathing space in the world. It’s Australia’s most environmentally sustainable city, with free city bikes for hire, the world’s first solar-powered bus and ecologically constructed buildings and homes.
Weather and when to go
Adelaide has hot, dry summers and mild winters, thanks to its coastal location on the southern edge of Australia. Rainfall, and sometimes hail, usually happens in the winter months. June tends to be the wettest month of the year. Snow in the metro area is not common (bar light falls at Mount Lofty and in the Adelaide Hills).
