Originally inhabited by the Kaurna tribe, their name for this area was Land of the Red Kangaroo and you can still see wild kangaroos in the Adelaide Hills, or even at Deep Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsular. When the British arrived they named the settlement after the wife of King George IV, and it has evolved into the most laid-back and interesting city in the whole state. With beaches, the semi-arid outback and the mountainous Flinders Ranges, it has something to suit every traveller.

Adelaide’s airport was given a makeover in 2005 and is now one of Australia’s fastest growing airports. It is spacious and well-equipped with free Wi-Fi provided as well. It was also the first Australian airport to have Google Street View, which enables prospective travellers to have a look at both the arrival and departure areas in advance. The currency in Australia is Australian dollars and UK citizens will need a visa to visit, but this is easily arranged when you book your trip. Contact us as soon as you can for the best flight and hotel deals including a flight from London to Adelaide or flight from Manchester to Adelaide. We can help you find the perfect package holidays to Adelaide so that you can start enjoying yourself as soon as possible.
Adelaide is one of the most pleasant Australian cities to visit because of its weather. The summers are warm and dry and the winters are mild, making it ideal whatever time of year you decide to visit. The Australian seasons are back to front from our point of view, so they have their winter when we have our summer and vice versa. With such pleasant temperatures it will be easy to enjoy your holiday to Adelaide, and we can help by finding you great low-cost holidays to choose from.
If you are here to experience the beach life, there are a number of different ones to take your fancy:
If beaches aren't for you, there are plenty of other places to visit. You can take a drive up into the Adelaide Hills past quaint villages and amazing scenery, or visit the wine region for one, or more, tasting trips. Both Cleland Conservation Park and Gorge Wildlife Park will satisfy your need to see Australia’s native animals and even have a cuddle with some of them. If you would rather see them in the wild, you can visit Kangaroo Island where you may spy sea lions, wallabies and koalas. Call us today for discount holidays and the best holiday deals to Adelaide. All this wildlife and scenery is just waiting for you to visit.

Selling spectacular fresh produce from all around the world including cheeses, breads and olives, Adelaide’s Central Market is the place to be.

For a more down-to-earth approach you should try a pie floater, and if you want to seem to be one of the locals you should have it as a late-night snack. It consists of a traditional Australian meat pie ‘floating’ in pea soup with a little tomato ketchup on top. It can be messy to eat but is the perfect end to a perfect Adelaide evening. Call us today as we can find you great low-cost holidays that will mean you can be here before you know it.
There are a few souvenir shops in Rundle Mall and Adelaide Arcade, and you can find may items with the Australian flag or typically Australian items such as a boomerang or stuffed kangaroo.

They include some stunning photographs and show South Australia off at its best. Get in touch with us today so that we can find you the best in flight and hotel deals for your holiday to Adelaide.
