Much of Adelaide is divided into a number of small districts and regions, with the very centre of Adelaide featuring a gridwork of roads and including the lively Central Business District (CBD), where you will find a good selection of bars and restaurants.

On the western side of Adelaide, the coastal region of Glenelg is extremely popular with visitors to the area, being connected to the city centre by regular trams. Glenelg is home to many attractive sandy beaches, a good selection of cafés with outdoor seating areas, and a number of tourist attractions.
