Adelaide Railway Station has a stylish new station entry that is worth a visit just to admire the amazing architecture. The new entrance is at the Northern end of the station that leads into the Riverbank precinct and Adelaide Festival Plaza. It is then an easy stroll to the footbridge and Adelaide Oval. The Riverbank precinct and Festival Plaza have been undergoing renovations. The long-awaited unveiling of these renovations is expected to occur in time for Mad March and the Adelaide and Fringe Festivals.

The visitor walks from the heritage-listed charm of the main station pavilion and enters the new entrance in which at every turn there are a series of evocative curves and archways. The walkway is lined with golden coloured glass panels that in themselves are a work of art.

The new entrance is a big improvement on the makeshift scaffolding that has surrounded the station for some time. It is also worth making a foray into Adelaide to experience the new architecture, which is definitely Instagram worthy.

The old and new architecture manages to meld together, although some may find the contrast between heritage and modern styling too stark. The new entrance is a definite bonus for locals and visitors alike to encounter, be it a day trip to Adelaide or on their daily commute.
