With its well-planned blocks of land, easy to navigate straight roads and open parklands, Adelaide is more of a small city compared to Sydney. This, however, is the charm that brings people to visit and live in Adelaide. For those looking for a simple and laid back lifestyle, then Adelaide is the city for you. The city is filled with a large variety of restaurants perfect for foodies including Italian, Asian, Greek, Moroccan, Indian, African and many more and, of course, Australian. Many of these restaurants can be found in the CBD along the city east area on Rundle Street and along Gouger Street near the Central Market. Our suburbs also boast a rich array of eateries.
Being a city with a population of just over one million, you can expect plenty of fresh air and wide open spaces. Car owners and enthusiasts can also rest easy knowing there is plenty of parking, especially in the quiet and uncluttered suburban streets of Adelaide.
