Introduction
The City of Adelaide is the largest city in and state capital of the State of South Australia. Located within Adelaide are a number of significant local, regional, national, and even international tourist attractions, as the city represents one of Australia’s few major cities. The centerpiece of the City of Adelaide is perhaps the Victoria Square; however, Chinatown to the west is another significant portion of the context of the City.
Attractions
As not just a regional or national city, but a global city in numerous metrics, Adelaide is home to a number of hotels, restaurants, and related amenities that support global tourism, including museums and historical sites on the northeastern side of the city. The South Australian Museum and the Art Gallery of South Australia are each located relatively nearby to the University of Adelaide to the east. A number of urban gardens also surround the central city on all sides, beyond the scope of the Victorian Garden, with the outskirts also containing St. Peter’s College and numerous types of entertainment venues, including, but not limited to, the Adelaide Showground.
Though the inner city is not immediately on the coast, the western end of the Adelaide area is located along the St. Vincent Gulf, with Kangaroo Island located at the southern end of the gulf.
