This is a simple way to see the beach side of Adelaide. The tram is comfortable and clean. You can buy tickets from the onboard machine or from the conductor. I understand travelling within the central city is free. Glenelg Beach is the last stop so you cannot miss it.

Awesome way to shop! No fuss tram ride to the beach at Glenelg (which is gorgeous!) and after just a short walk from our hotel, which was located in South Terrace it was a breeze to get there! As we got dropped off right in Glenelg we were able to walk the length of the shopping precinct (and where some... More

I have been using the tram and parking at the Entertainment centre. Great idea and although I was not happy with the extension I now think it's great. When is it coming to the Port. Good service up to date trams

Took a train to go to the Hilton from Adelaide Convention Centre, clear signs of each station name and the vehicle was very clean and spacious! Best of all, it's free! Unfortunately, I did not have the opportunity to take the tram all the way to Glenelg but I think this is a brilliant idea to check out Adelaide City!

The tram facility in Adelaide is excellent and the trip to Glenelg by tram is just the thing to take in some sights on the way. It is very reasonably priced at $8 for a day in Glenelg and is excellent value at the same time.

The tram is great, so easy to hop on and off wherever you wanted to go, buy a one day pass and use combined on buses and trams as much as you like. Excellent!
