North Adelaide: Mansions & History Walking Tour
Overview
Step back into the boom era of the 19th century with our signature North Adelaide: Mansions & History Walking Tour. Tailored specifically for passionate history enthusiasts and lovers of fine architecture, this elegant 2 hour stroll reveals the dramatic contrast between Adelaide's ultra-wealthy elite and the working class sub-divisions that built the colony and eventual State.
Led by a locally born and bred Adelaide guide, you will wander past magnificent stone estates facing the pristine Parklands before diving into the charming, leafy streets of Lower North Adelaide.
This gentle amble showcases an extraordinary collection of heritage-listed private properties and historic landmarks.
Highlights include:
The Mansions of Brougham Place: Admire towering Victorian, Federation, Edwardian and Queen Anne style estates built to look out over the sweeping Adelaide Parklands. Learn about who used to live in them and how many of them made their fortunes.
