12 Top Tourist Attractions in Adelaide
"Widely reputed to be the prettiest cricket ground in the world, the Adelaide Oval hosts all kinds of different sporting events throughout the year. Opened in 1871, it still exhibits some incredible Edwardian architecture in places, and its old scoreboard helps retain its charm among the more modern developments. Watching a game of cricket or Australian rules football here is a great way to experience the passion with which Aussies support their local teams."

Rock up in summer for a game of cricket – either the Australian national team or the Adelaide Strikers Big Bash franchise – or in winter to see the city’s beloved AFL clubs, the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power."
