The Adelaide Boat Show (28 to 30 June) takes place at the Adelaide Convention Centre, conveniently located at the heart of the City. The Adelaide Riverbank Precinct is a hive of activity and where the City's cultural, sporting, education, medical, conference and entertainment zones merge, making it Australia's best-connected business events precinct, and the perfect home for the Adelaide Boat Show.

The recommended route to the show is via public transport. General transport details are available at adelaidemetro.com.au, where there is also a link to the handy MetroMATE transport app for use on smartphones.

Catch a train into the city and it is just a short walk over to the Adelaide Convention Centre from the Adelaide Railway Station. You can check timetables for trains, buses and trams on the Adelaide Metro website.
