Adelaide Markets

(Adelaide, South Australia - SA, Australia)

Although this city comes with a number of malls and shopping precincts, such as the Rundle Mall on James Place and the Adelaide Arcade on Grenfell Street, the area boasts a huge selection of markets, providing a worthy alternative for shoppers.

Surrounded by a series of restaurants and shops, the city's aptly named Central Market can be found in the heart of the Central Business District and is one of the biggest indoor food markets in Adelaide. This sizeable multicultural market has become something of a leading tourist attraction and began its life on Grote Street, way back in the late 1860s, with considerable redevelopment in the 1960s.

Elsewhere, further offerings can be found close by in a number of neighbouring towns and villages, such as those of Aldinga, Macclesfield, Mylor, Nuriootpa, Port Elliot, Stirling and Woodside.
