Cosmopolitan, cultured and sophisticated, Adelaide is one of Australia's biggest cities, with many distinct sides and personalities. Its history stretches back to the 1800s where it was founded by migrants who built the city on an industry of mining and agriculture. The city is home to some of Australia's most renowned museums and attractions, beautiful parks and mansions. There is also a flourishing music scene including everything from opera to the latest live music.
