[2025 Adelaide Attraction] Travel Guide for Adelaide Gaol (Updated Apr)

#timetotravel The Adelaide Gaol, steeped in history and located in the heart of South Australia's capital, is a haunting yet fascinating destination. Walking through its formidable gates, I felt transported back in time, immersed in the stories of convicts and prisoners who once occupied these cells. The guided tours provide gripping insights into the harsh realities of colonial-era incarceration, showcasing the original cellblocks, gallows, and prisoner graffiti. The dark history of the gaol is palpable as you step into the cramped cells and the eerie punishment yards. The gaol's architecture, with its bluestone walls and looming watchtowers, adds to the atmosphere. It's a sobering reminder of Australia's penal past and a testament to the evolution of justice and rehabilitation. For history buffs and those intrigued by true crime stories, the Adelaide Gaol is an absorbing and educational experience that leaves a lasting impression. #australia #adelaide

#australiatrip A really interesting place to visit! We came at 10am right when it opened on a Saturday, which was great because we were pretty much able to explore the gaol with no visitors around for about an hour. We liked that it was a self-guided tour, so we could really take our time to look around. Staff were really friendly and took the time to give us a brief overview of the gaol, including providing us a detailed map and explaining how it worked. I would recommend anyone visiting Adelaide to pay a visit to Adelaide Gaol.

Must see if your a history buff, so very interesting and just a little bit eerie!
