Adelaide, (1 070 200 inhabitants), South Australia capital city, is refined city full of beauty and charm.

Proclaimed new colony on the Torrens River in 1836, the lovely city of Adelaide, planned by Colonel Light, is today set in parklands .

It has wide tree-lined streets in a perpendicular pattern, many stately public buildings, numerous churches ("the city of churches") and enjoys a magnificent Mediterranean climate.

The Festival Centre Complex on the south bank of Torrens Lake showcases the arts at Adelaide's famous Festival with performances by artists from all over the world. Adelaide is the first city to have a multicultural centre, and the only metropolis with no sky-scraper.
