"One of the most visited in Australia and definitely among the top 10 things to do in Adelaide. With five floors of exhibits covering fossils, mammals, Ancient Egypt, special exhibition spaces and more plus Aboriginal and Pacific Cultures collections, the SA Museum offers plenty for young and old. With so many interactive hands on activities, Myla absolutely loved it here, she particularly loved checking out the various world mammals, learning about the various South Australian biodiversity and checking out the giant squid which spans across four floors dangling in an elevator shaft!"

"It is located on North Terrace between to State Library and the Art Gallery and it’s the one people mean when they say “The Museum”. The ground floor is always a favourite with kids. For as long as I can remember there has been a display containing full-sized animals from all over the world."

"Hearty and honest, Osteria Oggi is a pasta bar with an Italian piazza feel in the heart of the city. It’s light and modern with a pergola-style roof over a cobblestone floor. You can eat at long bench tables or inside booths; a long concrete bar serves as another eating area."

"In this gorgeously styled, piazza-like eatery, this translates to super-fresh pasta, gnocchi and meat dishes, prepared, plated and served with Mediterranean vim. Ingredients lists..."

"It’s not often you get the chance to feel like a pirate while knocking back a few rums, but that’s exactly the scenario when drinking at Hains & Co. This nautical-themed establishment specialises in spirits, with expert mixologists on hand to concoct whatever your heart desires. You can also chomp down on cigars from around the world or feast on some tasty snacks while enjoying the gin of the month."

"This Gilbert Place establishment has a two-word slogan – ‘lifting spirits’ – and it doesn’t disappoint with its extensive selection of quality gin, rum, and whiskey. The exterior of Hains & Co looks like a classic London pub, while the interior looks like the cabin of a ship, the outside area’s cigar smokers whiff like in Cuba, and the deep-fried bar food taste like the southern States."

"Follow the signs to the historic German town of Hahndorf and you'll discover a beer haven. Clean lagers, estery wheats and malty dunkels line the streets, served alongside hearty meats, pretzels and sauerkraut; Hahndorf is a little taste of Germany in South Australia. While the operation released its first beers in 2005, it was in 2011 that Gulf Brewing Company moved in to join the Germans and started pouring beers for the many tourists that visit every year."

"Our final Italian entry on this list sits in a great central location near Adelaide's casino and its major railway station, making it one of the easiest to recommend restaurants for those wanting a quality bite to eat that's easily accessible for most first-time visitors staying in the city. Boasting an overall great value for money compared to some of Adelaide's other Italian restaurants, Parlamento, simply put, offers one of the city's best overall plates of pasta – which is what Italian dining is, essentially, all about. Dishes here are of an extremely large and generous proportion that adds yet more value, and the friendly and upbeat vibe makes it an extremely solid all-round restaurant with few faults."

"Set at the back of the Norwood Hoyts complex, it would be easy to overlook Eastern Garden due to its sequestered location but that would certainly be a mistake. Step inside and discover a richly decorated, high-ceilinged dining room. Most likely it’s packed with fellow food-lovers tucking into dishes like Szechuan style stir-fried chicken, kung po prawns and green beans with minced pork and XO."

"Adelaide diners seeking all things Asian head to Oriental House Chinese & Thai Cuisine on Glynburn Road in Firle. Colourful, bright dishes, featuring bold aromas and powerful flavours await inside thi..."

"Home-made, hand-made, vintage, re-purposed, recycled – this very home-grown market is a great place to meet the maker, buy unique treasures and gifts and feel like you've discovered something new (not new) hidden away in a cool vintage shed in the middle of the city.

"Samurai Teppanyaki House is a go-to Japanese restaurant in the city. If you are in search of a top-rated restaurant that comes with an IG-worthy background, this is the place for you. Their teppanyaki dishes are truly out of this world."

"It’s not often that sushi joints are welcoming of vegetarians and vegans, but Sushi Planet serves up platters dedicated to plant eaters. Their mango nigiri is a must, whether you’re vegetarian or not. The menu is extensive, so order a few platters (and shochus) and get stuck in."
