Powered by Why Glenelg is the perfect place to visit in Adelaide (ubizblog.com)

Whilst living in Adelaide for five years and then on the back for a short break in March 2021, I discovered Glenelg, SA, is a must-see and the perfect Adelaide tourist spot!

Are you stressed, overwhelmed and COVID fatigued? If so, it's high time to book your next holidays in Australia. With not as many options due to restrictions, you might question if it’s worth it? Australia is proudly known for its beaches, delicious coffee, internationally recognised wine and sunrises that take your breath away and, of course, exotic landscapes. When did you ask yourself, where do I go if I need a short break from work? How to fill in the energyless Me with new positive vibes? The answer is a visit to the diamond of South Australia, Adelaide, or as the locals like to call in Adelaide. Situated on the Adelaide Plains north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. “Its metropolitan area extends 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges and stretches 96 km (60 mi) from Gawler in the north to Sellicks Beach in the south” (Wikipedia, 2021) 

Welcome to Adelaide. Soft and clean sand beach sand attract tourists

With numerous beaches scattered along the coast, Glenelg hits the mark. Glenelg is a historical location in SA and recognised as the “oldest European settlement on mainland South Australia”. (Glenelg SA, 2021). Not only this is the primary reason to book accommodation here via Booking, Airbnb, or Klook-it’s an opportunity to explore SA in one spot without travelling too far when you are time-restricted.

So, why Glenelg is highly recommended when travelling to Adelaide?

A centralised location to all sightseeing’s:

Glenelg is positioned only 15 minutes away from the airport and 10 minutes to Adelaide CBD. So, your Uber ride won’t cost you a fortune. Are you travelling with kids?

On a good day, grab a popular in Aussie land fish and chips at a kiosk just located conveniently on Moseley Square. The trendy Euro-styled beach bar Moseley Beach Bar exudes a whole natural coastal vibe for visitors. While enjoying your latte at the local café watching the ocean as a scenery, your kids can play at the newly built playground! Glenelg spiced up with a variety of International cousins. The latest discovery is a Russian café, Shamora, inspired by Siberian regions, Vladivostok, now taking bookings to experience a Russian Corner. Coastal atmosphere influences local dining interior.

Holidaying Atmosphere:

Crystal clear, turquoise waters provide opportunities to spot a pod of dolphins playing along the Jetty. Glenelg Jetty is a lucky chance to stroll along and monitor the scenery of an open ocean. Take a break, chill out on the sand, catch the fragrance of the natural marina. Little fountain on Moseley square incorporates a little vibrant waterpark under the open sky. This water feature reminds you of the most precious time -Holiday time as the kids play excitedly!
