Getting around Adelaide
Central Adelaide is perfect for exploring on foot or by bike, but a range of public and private transport options are also available if you are looking to go further afield.
Cycle
Broad, flat streets, beautiful parks and a wealth of bike paths make Adelaide a very bike-friendly city. Many of the major streets have dedicated bike lanes, and there are plenty of places to lock up your bicycle safely.
