Adelaide, with a population of over a million, is the state capital of South Australia and has much in common with large cities all over the world. There are some gems to discover, though, from your base in an Adelaide holiday apartment, from the zoo to Chinatown, by way of the spectacular botanic gardens.

One thing to remember on any holiday to Australia is that the southern hemisphere has the seasons opposite to the ones in the north, and so Christmas is in the summer. Even so, the city pulls out all the stops with all the trimmings on their Christmas parade, which you might be lucky enough to be able to see from the window of your Adelaide city centre (center) apartment.

Adelaide holiday rentals are varied, as you would expect in a large city, and cover the ground from service apartments, where you would stay for a longer time perhaps, to short stay apartments, ideal for finding your feet in a new city. For many, a holiday in Australia comes into the ‘trip of a lifetime’ category and this will influence what kind of accommodation they will eventually choose. But no matter how long the stay, the botanic gardens are a must-see, with native Australian flowers and beautiful glass-houses. To see it all properly, it would take more than one visit and fortunately, there is an excellent restaurant on the site, so you can stay all day. And for fans of reality television, there is the bush food trail – but more plants than bugs, happily!

It may not sound the most obvious thing to do in a large city in Australia, but while staying in your Adelaide serviced accommodation you have to visit the zoo. They have pandas Wang Wang and Funi staying for ten years as part of the panda breeding programme. They have an amazing purpose built habitat which you will be able to visit on line when you get home, via the PandaCam to remind you of your holiday.

Adelaide sports cater for almost all tastes and Australian rules football is very popular here with matches on in several locations where you can go to try and work out what these Australian rules actually are! But don’t worry, while staying in your Adelaide holiday rental you will also be able to follow cricket, soccer and rugby, depending on the season. The Adelaide Oval is one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world, and should certainly not be missed.
