Adelaide's Anglican Cathedral and one of the most iconic churches in Australia. Features on many postcards of Adelaide, and a popular stop on most city tours.
St Peter's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in the South Australian capital of Adelaide. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Adelaide and Metropolitan of the Province of South Australia. The cathedral, a significant Adelaide landmark, is situated on approximately 1 acre (0.40 ha) of land at the corner of Pennington Terrace and King William Road in the suburb of North Adelaide.

During the summer months get down to the Adelaide Oval for a cricket match. Australia plays host to a couple of touring nations each summer and they will play a few matches at this beautiful ground which is just minutes from the city centre. Tickets for internationals tend to be snapped up quickly, but domestic matches are frequent and equally exciting.
During the winter months, it hosts matches of the AFL, the top level professional league in Australian rules football. Both Adelaide teams, the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power play their home games here. Tickets are reasonably priced, and getting tickets shouldn't be a problem - check out the AFL website for more details.
Provides a spectacular view of the city, especially at night.
The only place in the southern hemisphere to see giant pandas. The zoo also boasts meerkats, lions, tigers, a family of capybaras and some quokkas.
Adjoining the Festival and Convention centres. Adelaide Casino is South Australia's only licensed casino, and offers not just great gaming, but also three restaurants, and four bars, including the Oasis bar and Grandstand sports bar. Valet parking is also available.
