Adelaide Oval
Often called one of the world's most beautiful cricket grounds. Take the RoofClimb for views over the city, or watch Australian rules football and cricket matches.
The stadium sits on the northern bank of the River Torrens. It was redeveloped in 2014 but kept its 1911 heritage scoreboard and a century-old fig tree. In summer it hosts Test cricket, and in winter it is the home ground for Australian Football League (AFL) matches. Stadium tours take you through the changing rooms and the Bradman Collection museum. RoofClimb takes about 2 hours and runs daytime, sunset and night sessions. Booking is required, and there is a dress code. From the city centre, it is about 10 minutes' walk across the pedestrian bridge over the river.
