Adelaide ranked in top ten cities to visit by Lonely Planet.
Adelaide has made Lonely Planet's top ten Best in Travel 2014 list. Well deserved recognition of the charms, attractions, ("effortlessly chic") and changing face of Adelaide. As usual, the City of Churches moniker gets an airing but in a 'heavenly' way and the report alludes to our fine wine reputation.
Kudos to those who played a large part in the developments/factors largely responsible for earning this glowing praise.
The Adelaide Oval redevelopment and emerging riverbank precinct, laneways revitalization and urban spaces/places, infrastructure improvements and our foodie culture and fresh local produce, highlighted by our gem of a Central Market.
In particular, some praise, IMHO should go to the current State Government and Rod Hook (DTEI) for its infrastructure developments, improving public transport incl the tram extension, extensive WiFi access thanks to Internode, our Lord Mayor, Stephen Yarwood for his vision in revitalizing the city and our quality restaurateurs and food and wine producers, many of whom were recognized in the SA 'Tiser Good Food Awards last night.

ABC News. Incl List of Top Ten :Adelaide may often be overshadowed by Australia's bigger eastern capitals, but the city of churches is a heavenly place to visit, according to the world's leading travel guide.
The city has been ranked as one of the top 10 cities in the world to visit by Lonely Planet, finishing ninth in the company's Best in Travel 2014 book.
The annual publication documents the best trends and destinations for the forthcoming year, with the list headed by Paris, Trinidad and Cape Town.
"Having always lived in the shadow of its gregarious eastern-seaboard cousins," Lonely Planet says, "the 'City of Churches' has been quietly loosening its pious shackles and embracing its liberal foundations."
"Adelaide is effortlessly chic – and like a perfectly cellared red, it's ready to be uncorked and sampled."
No other Australian city made the top 10, although the Kimberley in Western Australia was ranked second in the list of the world's top 10 regions to visit.
Lonely Planet's Chris Zeiher says the Adelaide Oval redevelopment sparked the city's nomination.
"There's going to be more people probably staying in the CBD to see events," he said.
"Then there's this really cool stuff that's going on with the transformation of some of the spaces within the city itself."
He also says the city's food culture played a part in helping Adelaide make the top 10.
"Of course, Adelaide is a foodie destination anyway and it's incredibly parochial about its local produce."
