Mount Lofty

Mount Lofty is tucked into the Adelaide Hills and is easily accessible from central Adelaide – it takes less than 20 minutes to drive from the CBD to Mount Lofty’s summit. The peak reaches 710 metres (2,330 feet) above sea level and provides one of the most picturesque views you’ll come across while travelling from Armidale to Adelaide.

Fresh produce is the main specialty – stalls sell fruits and vegetables, gourmet cheeses, baked goods, and flavoured coffee beans. There are several cafes and small restaurants located within the market as well.

Art Gallery of South Australia

The Art Gallery of South Australia is one of the popular attractions in the North Terrace Cultural Precinct. It showcases more than 45,000 pieces of art that range from classic to more contemporary styles. There are galleries dedicated to Australian art, plus plenty of other pieces from all corners of the globe. After you’ve spent some time at the Art Gallery, continue your cultural exploration of Adelaide at the neighbouring SA Museum and National War Memorial.

The Best Time to Visit

Summer is widely viewed as the best time to travel on Armidale to Adelaide flights. Weather is beautiful, and Adelaide’s festival season brings an extra buzz of excitement to the city. Temperatures reach highs of about 26° to 29°C during the day. Summer is the best time to visit South Australia for the beaches, and it’s also a good time for vineyard-hopping in SA’s wine regions – you’ll even witness the start of grape harvesting season in late summer.

Autumn and spring have nice weather and smaller crowds compared to the busy summer. High temperatures reach about 19° to 25°C, and evenings can cool to around 11° to 15°C. Both autumn and spring are colourful times to visit Adelaide – the Adelaide Hills and Adelaide Botanic Gardens see especially pretty foliage and flowers. Autumn is also one of the best times to visit the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale as this is grape harvesting season.

If you’re interested in a budget holiday to SA, you may consider booking Armidale to Adelaide flights during the winter.
