Why Adelaide

Adelaide is a city of culture, a city of relaxed living and a time-honoured seat of learning. It's also a city with a great future ahead of it: yours.

Proudly hosting 23,000 international students who see our city as a means to a rewarding career path and a fulfilling life. They're embracing the opportunities to be had in a modern Western metropolis - earning internationally-respected qualifications, working alongside some of the world's most influential companies and learning the ways of an English-speaking culture.

Adelaide is a vibrant, original and stylish capital that embraces progress and leads the way. The city's fame as a leader in social and cultural change goes hand in hand with its reputation as a haven for artistic innovation.

Adelaide’s calendar is jampacked with events to grab you, move you and get you up and dancing. Here you’ll find the famous Adelaide Festival of Arts and the quirky Fringe.

Then, of course, there’s sport. As well as boasting the most picturesque cricket ground in the world, Adelaide is home to the annual adrenalin rush of the Clipsal 500 Adelaide car race and the world-class cycling of the Jacob’s Creek Tour Down Under and the first UCI Pro Tour outside of Europe.

Adelaide’s wide, tree-lined streets are always buzzing with life, the locals are laid-back and easy-going. Maybe it’s the gorgeous Mediterranean climate that makes them so chilled-out. Or it could be the sandy beaches just 15 minutes from the city centre. (the Adelaide HIP Guide)
