From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Here you can walk around and enjoy the green areas, and there are also some tennis courts and a playground for kids. In the park you can also find the Government House that used to be the governor's summer residence. There's a fee to enter the park by car, but it can also be accessed by the Belair train line, a 35-minute trip from Adelaide.
Popular with hikers and cyclists and has great views over the Adelaide Hills. Some highlights are the Cleland Wildlife Park, the Waterfall Gully and the Mt Lofty Summit.
Famous for its ridges with waterfalls that are particularly impressive during the winter and spring when the water flows at its strongest. However, the waterfalls usually dry up during the summer.
One of the state's most accessible military museums home to a collection of historic guns, artillery, and pretty much everything that was used in the First and Second World Wars along with the Vietnam and Korean Wars. It's entirely run by volunteers, meaning its opening hours are generally limited.
A factory tour. Haigh's was established in 1915 and is one of the best chocolate makers in Australia, and can hold its own against some of the premium Belgian and Swiss chocolatiers. 5 minutes from the CBD, the tour will give you a glimpse on how this fine chocolate is made and they give free samples.
An art deco style heritage listed theatre run by volunteers. It has a diverse range of live events and movies.
An authentic Italian restaurant. It can get crowded during the evenings, so it's advisable to make a booking.
As the name suggest, founded by Indian chefs who deserted the Tandoori Oven across the road. Good Indian food at a very reasonable price.
Good, reasonably priced Indian food. There are two Raj on Taj restaurants, one in Hyde Park and one nearby in Unley. The Hyde Park one is the better of the two.
Magill. While the food here is excellent, making extensive use of native Australian ingredients as seasoning, the real stars are the view and the wine list. This restaurant is owned by Penfolds, probably Australia's best-known premium red wine maker, and overlooks the vineyards on their Magill property, not far from the city centre. The grapes grown on this estate are used to make the Magill Estate label single vineyard Shiraz. The wine list allows you to order back vintages of the Penfolds and other wines going back 20 or more years
Windy Point Lookout, Belair Rd. Nice ambiance, excellent service and good food prepared in a unique way with a nice view of the city skyline. For those who wish to have a less formal setting, the adjacent cafe also offers a good selection. Usually only open for dinner from 6PM onwards, though lunches are possible with prior arrangements.
Asha describes itself as a modern Australian restaurant that takes inspiration from the middle east and the mediterranean. Marvellous food and cheerful, attentive service. The eggplant side dish is close to perfect and so sweet you could almost have it for dessert. Large wine list and very interesting selection of non alcoholic drinks.
