Adelaide, Administrative capital in South Australia.
Adelaide is the administrative center of South Australia and spreads across the Adelaide Plains with a grid pattern of streets. It is surrounded by large parks and botanical gardens.
It was founded in 1836 as Australia's first planned settlement and named after Queen Adelaide. The city developed rapidly into a major administrative center.
The Art Gallery and various performance venues line North Terrace, drawing visitors interested in exhibitions and live shows. These sites shape how residents and travelers experience the city's cultural life.
The public transport network includes buses, trams, and trains connecting the center with outlying areas. The flat terrain makes exploring by bicycle straightforward for visitors of all abilities.
A continuous green belt of parkland circles the entire city center. This layout sets it apart from other Australian city designs.
