North Terrace lines up many of Adelaide’s cultural institutions and historic buildings along a single avenue, making it easy to walk past the stories behind them. Stroll the street with a guide and pass sights such as Parliament House, an 1838 church, the colonial-era Ayers House, and the National War Memorial. Along the way, see the casino housed in a restored 1920s railway station.
