Adelaide Arcade

Step inside one of Adelaide’s most beautiful heritage shopping destinations at Adelaide Arcade. Located between Rundle Mall and Grenfell Street, the Arcade first opened in 1885 and still retains its grand Victorian architecture, decorative details and glass-panelled ceilings.

Today, the heritage-listed arcade is home to specialty retailers, jewellery stores, boutiques, gifts, food and locally owned businesses, but there is much more here than shopping. Visitors can explore its history through a free self-guided heritage experience and the Adelaide Arcade Museum, making it an easy stop for travellers interested in shopping, architecture and Adelaide history.
