Which Adelaide shopping area should I visit for a few hours?

For a different shopping street, compare the Parade in Norwood or Jetty Road in Glenelg with your remaining time. Make one area the destination and leave room for a cafe stop instead of crossing the city repeatedly.

Choose Adelaide Central Market if food is the priority: browse produce and specialty stalls, have a meal and pick up an edible gift. Check the market's trading day and individual stall hours before you go.

Start at Rundle Mall for major retailers, then step into the adjacent arcades and lanes if you want smaller shops and older buildings. It is an easy central route that does not need a car.
