Rundle Mall
A pedestrian shopping street in the city centre, with department stores, historic arcades and street art sculptures. The silver Spheres and the bronze pigs are popular photo spots.
Rundle Mall became Australia's first pedestrian shopping street in 1976. It is home to department stores such as David Jones and Myer, along with many brand-name shops. The two stacked stainless-steel spheres, The Spheres (nicknamed the Mall's Balls), are a popular meeting point. The four bronze pigs in A Day Out are also a favourite photo stop. The Adelaide Arcade, built in 1885, keeps its Victorian-era glass arcade. At the eastern end, Rundle Street leads to a district of restaurants and bars, and you can stroll all the way to the Botanic Garden.
