How do I reach Adelaide’s landmarks by public transport?
Open any landmark from the guide — its page shows the nearest stops and a planner that finds a route from your location to it, with lines, transfers and departure times based on the timetable.
Which landmarks does the guide cover?
Adelaide’s best-known landmarks — Adelaide Botanic Garden, Adelaide Central Market, Art Gallery of South Australia, South Australian Museum, State Library of South Australia (Mortlock Wing) — each with a 3D view of the location and directions on how to get there by public transport.
What is the 3D view of a landmark?
An interactive 3D model of the location (buildings and surroundings from OpenStreetMap data) that rotates and tilts. It is not a photo but a graphical view of the place, so you can recognise the area before you set off.
How do I plan a tour of several landmarks?
Use the Journey Planner for a public transport route to each landmark; every landmark page also lists the nearest stops with arrival estimates, so you can easily chain several points into one tour.
