Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, is known for its compact city center, easy access to wine regions like Barossa Valley, and attractions such as the Adelaide Central Market, Botanic Gardens, and nearby beaches. The currency is the Australian dollar (AUD), and prices are generally moderate to high compared to many other destinations, especially for dining and accommodation. The city has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, so packing depends on the season of travel.
