Stop+1+Introduction+-+Adela



After a long flight from the other side of the world, or even over from Adelaide, a drive in from the country or a train ride from the rural suburbs you’ll want to have a quick rest in your hotel. After you dump your bags and have a 20 minute power nap, we recommend a quick look around our city.

As long as you’re inside the CBD there are so many options for transport, you can hop on a train to get from shop to shop and jump on a tram to get from stop to stop. Trams and trains make for easy access around the city, but these aren’t your only options I hope this table will give you an idea about what forms of transport are good and in which ways. You may notice that I have not included taxi’s on this table but I think we all know what taxi’s do and their PROs and CONs, I have just listed those forms of transport and things about them we may not have know or though about.
