From Mount Lofty to Belair National Park, Adelaide, Australia is surrounded by natural marvels on all sides, but you don’t even have to step outside of it to enjoy them. Here are three amazing spots that every nature lover should check out in this charming Australian city.
Adelaide Botanic Garden
Adelaide is home to several pretty breathtaking botanic gardens, but none of them compare to this one. Located on the edge of the city center, this green oasis covers an enormous area of 130 acres and it’s home to many rare plants, in addition to housing many charming greenhouses and cafés on its premises.
Adelaide Himeji Garden
If you have a special place in your heart for traditional Japanese gardens, you shouldn’t miss this one for the world. It was gifted to Adelaide by its sister city Himeji four decades ago, and its small size isn’t stopping it from being a stunning natural oasis, with an ornamental gate, a lake, a teahouse, and so much more.
Adelaide Zoo
A visit to Australia will change the way you look at zoos, and Adelaide is home to one of the very best. It’s the second oldest zoo in the country, and it’s home to 300 native and exotic species that you can observe and sometimes even interact with during your visit.
