Running through the city is a small river that is bustling with activities; River Torrens.

Located along the bank of the river is North Adelaide Golf Course, which offers a great family experience; and there’s no need to be a professional golfer to visit this scenic turf.
Anyone with a sweet tooth would love this. Make a trip down in your rental car to Adelaide’s Haigh’s factory on Greenhill Road and tour the factory with their experienced guides. Learn about the rich history of Haigh’s and check out the manufacturing process of their gourmet chocolates. At the end of the visit, be sure to get a taste of their premium chocolates that are likely to leave you craving for more.
Drive your rental car to Adelaide’s Rundle Street East for delicious food and shopping. Their laneways are lined with galleries and a variety of interesting shops that are definitely worth a visit.

The Farmers Market at Wayville Showgrounds is also a spot for fresh produce and scrumptious baked goods. For fashionistas and design-enthusiasts, Gillies Street Market is held twice a month. It’s the place to be for a vintage-shopping spree while basking in live music.
Approximately 2 hours outside of Adelaide via rental car is Victor Harbour. Dotted with vibrant markets, this quaint coastal town is popular with the locals and a great escape from the city.
