Adelaide has all the attributes of being one of the best, it has style, grace, sophistication, yet this city with so much to offer remains modest in broadcasting its adornments to the world. Its' beauty was created by the ingenious planning of Colonel Light in 1836. Wide boulevard streets lined with historical buildings link the city with its surroundings, whilst the central business district is laid out in a grid network divided with five strategic placed squares. To complete this master plan, a greenbelt of parks and gardens embellish all sides of the city, combining natural recreational areas with a border of lush colours. The Capital offers excellent restaurants, shopping and has dazzling art festivals. The pace of life is very relaxed with a Mediterranean style climate accompanied by a warm friendly ambience. The only surviving tram will transport you to a pleasant beachside suburb of Glenelg its attractions including a replica of the HMS Buffalo and the Old Gum Tree. Adelaide is more than "the city of churches", it is steeped in history, surrounded by beauty and encased in an area of intricate splendor.
