Adelaide Shopping

Best shopping in Adelaide

If you are looking for Adelaide’s best local fresh produce then you cannot go past
Adelaide Central Market (open Tuesday through Saturday) located on Gouger St in the Central Business District.  It is an ‘institution’, and locals recommend the market as one of Adelaide’s must visit attractions. There are a variety of stalls and shops spruiking seafood, meats, fresh fruit and vegetables, cheeses and breads. There are also plant nurseries and numerous popular retail outlets. The market is conveniently located between Chinatown and Victoria Square for more shopping and eatery choices.

Whilst the Central Market is the largest, there is a popular farmers market on every Sunday from 9am to 1pm at Adelaide Showground on Leader St, Goodwood.   The Willunga Farmers Market is another favourite destination for the ‘foodie’ located near McLaren Vale and is open rain, hail or shine every Saturday from 8am to 12.30pm.

For department style shopping and clothing stores, the pedestrian only Rundle Mall has a plethora of retail outlets to choose from. Marion shopping centre in the suburb of Oaklands Park is an indoor style mall for retail and grocery shopping, whilst King William Road and Burnside Village have bespoke boutique stores. Well worth a visit are the local shopping streets in the suburbs including Unley Road, Norwood Parade and Glenelg.

If you’re looking for a good bargain, Harbour town at West Beach is becoming the ‘good deal’ destination with up to 60% off the recommended retail price. The number of outlets is expanding and includes home ware, health and beauty, bags, shoes, clothing, jewellery, sports equipment, restaurants, books and gifts.

If you’d like to shop for fine wine then Adelaide is definitely the place to visit. It has Australia's three major wine regions all within an hour from the city: Barossa, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
