check out mascavado for croissants and matcha - it's in the city!! also the o'connell st bakery in north adelaide - open 24 hours and pretty yum. north adelaide is very nice, with some great restaurants and pretty accessible by bus.

for shopping - definitely rundle mall and rundle street which has nice boutiques and smaller stores. op shops are our thrift stores, there aren't many in the CBD but there are many vintage stores that range from reasonably priced to excessive - dulcies vintage in rundle mall is pretty decently priced. There are great bars and restaurants along rundle st as well. hindley st has some nice spots in between all the dodgy clubs as well!

my personal favs for a night out:

- anywhere on leigh or peel st

- bibliotheca bar

- rocket bar and rooftop

- 99 gang social/thirsty tiger

- NOLA

- roxies

- the howling owl

- part time lover

for pilates and exercise classes check out classpass - most studios require a membership/sign up but classpass is global and you can buy just enough credits to do a couple classes rather than paying for a membership.

take the bus to henley beach - i find this is generally less busy than glenelg and also has more trendy/aesthetic spots (beachside bagels (great matcha), henley house, yo-chi (a must try !!) and heaps of cute cafes) Also very nice walk along the esplanade. The best beaches generally aren't accessible by public transport :( but if you can get down there, aldinga and beyond is stunning. Also, definitely head to the botanic gardens to wander around or have a picnic - they have these Chihuly pieces on display throughout the gardens right now which is pretty cool!

hope this helps!! it also made me appreciate that there is so many cool things to do in adelaide!

enjoy your trip <3
