Adelaide is full of free experiences waiting to be discovered. Wander through the beautiful Adelaide Botanic Garden, one of the city's Victorian treasures, or explore the surrounding parklands, which make up almost half of Adelaide's city centre.

Browse the famous Adelaide Central Market, packed with fresh local produce, artisan foods and multicultural flavours, then visit the South Australian Museum, home to the world's largest collection of Aboriginal cultural artefacts.

Take advantage of Adelaide's free bike hire to cycle the Linear Park Trail towards the coast, or challenge yourself with a ride or hike to the Mount Lofty Summit for panoramic views across the city and coastline. As Australia's only UNESCO City of Music, you'll also find free live music performances happening throughout the year, making it easy to experience Adelaide's vibrant creative scene.
