Adelaide is known for many things such as housing affordability, the o-bahn busway, the wine regions throughout Adelaide countryside, being known as The Festival State due to the level of festivities that are always ongoing throughout the year and not to mention is known as the 20 minute city as any major point in the city has the ability to be reached within 20 minutes due to the superior transportation and city planning infrastructure in place. Another thing it is recognised for is being calm, relaxed and all round easy going giving it that feeling of a large town rather than a city compared to the likes of Melbourne and Sydney.
