What kind of holiday is Adelaide?

Adelaide is strongest for city breaks, food and drink, and switching off. The main settings are urban settings and wooded countryside, and the pace is relaxing.

How flexible is it? Adelaide can credibly be planned with a relaxed to active daytime pace, serene to lively evenings and off-beat to popular crowd settings through the choice of area, hotel, activities and timing. The typical version has relaxed days, balanced evenings and a mixed setting. The quiz selects the closest credible version rather than treating it as one fixed product.
