Dating in the 21st century can be a very hard task, and dealing with breakups can be equally hard. Your heart needs time to heal, and you need your own space, but what do you do when you keep missing that one person?

Thankfully, if you live in Adelaide, there are tonnes of things to do and places to visit to take your mind off of your ex!

Read this blog to find out the six best ways to cheer yourself up if you live in Adelaide and you’re suffering from heartbreak.

1. Visit Rundle Mall

If you’re looking for a little retail therapy to cheer yourself up, go to the Rundle Mall, Adelaide’s main street for shopping. The Rundle Mall was first established in 1837, and many of the grand buildings here can be dated back to the 19th century. This was also Australia’s first pedestrian-only mall! From local stores to luxury boutiques, you’ll find absolutely everything here.

Other than shopping, the architecture of this place will leave you awestruck. It has some iconic sculptures, like that of pigs and cockroaches! The Adelaide Arcade and the fountain at its entrance are also worth looking at.

2. Adelaide Botanic Garden

What’s a better way to get over a breakup than to lose yourself amidst nature? This 51-hectare garden was first established in 1857 and houses beautiful places like the Palm House.

The bicentennial conservatory here is the largest single-span one in the southern hemisphere, so be sure to check it out! From exotic roses to other rare flora, you’ll see beautiful specimens here. So be sure to visit the Botanic Garden for a calm afternoon with yourself.

3. Tour of the River Torrens

There are various tour options available along the River Torrens, including a grand gondola ride! You may also wish to kayak or use a paddleboat to let out the adventurer in you! If, however, you’d like to relax a little and lift up your spirits, you can opt for the cruise. It’ll show you great sights like the Elder Park Rotunda, the Adelaide Zoo, and the footbridge.

In order to get in touch, contact Popeye, the most famous cruise operator, which has been operating for over 75 years. So let the sailor in you relax on a grand cruise as you try thinking of ways to get over your nasty ex!
