“Adelaide Central Market” When Adelaide does something well, you won’t find a better comparison. Our markets are a perfect example. The Adelaide Central Market is our most visited tourist attraction. It has more than 80 stalls, cafés and restaurants and is unchallenged as Australia’s best market. You won’t find this variety of food under one roof anywhere else. Many market businesses are family owned. Forget breakfast and feast on free samples as you browse for a bargain. Customers really do come first.
