A trip to a new destination often comes with learning all about the city. There are so many things to do in Adelaide to get your culture fix.

North Terrace Cultural Precinct

If you're not sure which institute, museum, or gallery to go to, just wander around the cultural precinct. The precinct is home to many of these institutions and more, so it's a great starting point when you're not sure which cultural things to do in Adelaide.

At the North Terrace Cultural Precinct, you'll find North Terrace East-the recommended start point for tours through the terrace as it is one of the oldest parts of the city. Then you'll spot Government House, the Institute Building, the State Library of South Australia, the Migration Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the University of Adelaide, and the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

The City of Adelaide

If nothing from the North Terrace Cultural Precinct catches your eye, you can just walk through the city of Adelaide. The architecture of the city is stunning and full of history. Adelaide is known as the City of Churches, so walk through the city and discover why for yourself.

Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute Adelaide

The Tandanya Institute is an impressive art museum in the middle of Adelaide, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in learning more about Australia's first people. It's Australia's oldest Aboriginal-owned and managed multi-arts centre and Australia's leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts & Cultural organisation. If you're interested in discovering art from Australia's native people, the Tandanya Institute is a great thing to do in Adelaide.

Art Gallery of South Australia Adelaide

The Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) is full of visual art that ranges from classical to contemporary. At any time, there will be ongoing programs to entertain visitors of any age, not to mention the exhibitions to captivate your attention. Admission to the gallery is free, making it an ideal activity for big families or an individual traveller! An effortless way to add some arts and culture to your Adelaide trip.

South Australian Museum

No cultural trip is complete without going to a museum. Another institution that does not charge entry, the South Australian Museum is open to all. The museum holds collections that are significant not only to Australia but to other nations as well. The museum has been in operation for over 150 years, dedicated to making Australia's natural and cultural history accessible, engaging, and fun. There's always something interesting on at the museum with a range of various exhibitions to discover.
