Adelaide - Australia

In the gracious, friendly capital of Adelaide, you can swim with dolphins 20 minutes from the city centre, or sit on an endless sandy beach all morning and head to the hills for wine tasting in the afternoon. See the world's largest collection of Aboriginal artifacts, and experience some of the best cuisine in the world. All without breaking the bank.

The wine and festival capital of Australia, Adelaide is one of the most vibrant, stylish and innovative cities you'll ever visit. It's a place to experience the buzz, culture and convenience of a big city without the frustrations. The city centre, surrounded by parklands, is a charming blend of historic buildings, wide streets, numerous shops, street cafes and restaurants.

Top 5 things to do:

1. Wine Tasting
With more than 270 cellar doors (most within an hour or two of Adelaide), South Australia is the undisputed home of Australian wine.

2. Houseboat on the Murray
And you won't even need to leave the front door when you make a houseboat your home on South Australia's awe-inspiring, 649km stretch of the Murray River.

3. Take a dip with Dolphins
Swim with dolphins just 20 minutes from the city centre on a Temptation Sailing cruise. The 17-metre catamaran, based at Holdfast Shores Marina in Glenelg, is perfect for cruising beside Adelaide's endless sandy shoreline.

4. Haigh's: Chocoholic Heaven
Visit the Haigh's Chocolates Visitor Centre, home of Australia's oldest surviving chocolate-making company and one of only a handful world-wide still making chocolate directly from cocoa beans.

5. Tram it to the Glenelg
Ride Adelaide's historic tram from Victoria Square in the city to the beachside suburb of Glenelg, where you can learn the mysteries of Great White Sharks at the Rodney Fox Shark Experience.
