Around the Square Adelaide Walking Tour

This is a small-group walking tour around Victoria Square that gives you a closer look at Adelaide’s history, heritage and culture. Over two hours, you’ll explore the architecture, public buildings, statues and monuments around the square, with stories that connect colonial Adelaide to the city today. It’s a good pick if you want more context than you’d get from wandering on your own and prefer a tour that stays focused on the city rather than covering huge distances.

The tour runs at an easy pace and centres on the area around Victoria Square. Along the way, your local guide talks through the buildings, institutions and memorials you pass, as well as the people connected to them and the role they played in Adelaide’s development. Expect a history-heavy walk rather than a food or nightlife experience. You’ll be on your feet for most of the two hours, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. The tour operates in all weather, and it is wheelchair accessible.
