Recently, transplant chefs from China and Vietnam have infused the petite city of just over a million people with diverse flavors. Best of all, it’s supremely easy to wander Adelaide by foot, stumbling upon discoveries while enjoying long, post-food-coma strolls.

It also holds roughly $350 billion worth of stocks, including multibillion-dollar stakes in Apple, Bank of America, Chevron, Coca-Cola, and Kraft Heinz.
