Luggage storage in the Adelaide CBD

Adelaide's compact grid makes it easy to explore on foot, but a heavy bag quickly turns that walkability into a chore.

The Adelaide Central Bus Station offers luggage storage lockers that you can use while you're exploring the city. The station is the city's main hub for intercity, regional, and interstate coaches, and it's open from 6:00 am to 8:30 pm every day, so you can drop a bag and pick it up within those hours. The Art Gallery of South Australia has free cloakrooms near both main entrances for large bags, backpacks, and umbrellas, while the Adelaide Convention Centre offers complimentary coat check and luggage storage at the main reception, subject to availability. The Adelaide Festival Centre provides cloakrooms at the Festival Theatre, Dunstan Playhouse, and Space Theatre, and since backpacks and bags larger than A3 aren't allowed inside the theatres, using the cloakroom is the practical option. The Adelaide CBD is the principal commercial, civic, and cultural hub of South Australia, located in the city centre of Greater Adelaide. It is a grid-planned area of approximately 4.33 square kilometres, bounded by the North, East, South, and West Terraces and encircled by public parklands. With Stasher, you can store bags from A$2.99 per bag per day at 6 locations across the Adelaide CBD.

Adelaide Oval and the events precinct

Adelaide Oval is the city's historic sporting ground and major event venue, hosting cricket, football, concerts, and cultural events, but it has no cloakroom facilities of its own. The venue advises visitors to bring only what they can carry, as only bags small enough to fit under a seat are permitted inside. If you're arriving by train, Adelaide Railway Station is about a five-minute walk away via the Riverbank footbridge. The station is the central terminus for the Adelaide Metro rail system, serving the Belair, Flinders, Gawler, Grange, Outer Harbor, Port Dock, and Seaford lines.

Getting around the city with luggage

Adelaide Metro lets you take luggage on buses, trains, and trams as long as it doesn't exceed 90 cm x 60 cm x 40 cm. The tram network connects the CBD to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Botanic Gardens, and Glenelg, and travel is free within the city between South Terrace, the Entertainment Centre, Festival Plaza, and the Botanic Gardens. The free City Connector bus runs two loops, 98A and 98C, around the CBD and up to North Adelaide every day, which is handy if your bag is within the size limit and you'd rather not walk. King William Street is the main north-south thoroughfare bisecting the city.

Markets, squares, and spending the day

The Adelaide Central Market is South Australia's most-visited tourist attraction and a major food destination, with over 70 traders under one roof. It's open on Tuesday from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm, Friday from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm, and Saturday from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, though Wednesday is an optional trading day when not all stalls open. Victoria Square, also known as Tarntanyangga, is the city's central hub and hosts events throughout the year, and the CBD's compact grid suggests allocating one main area per half-day.
