Flights to Alice Springs information

Nestled midway between Adelaide and Darwin, this isolated inland city sets itself apart from its coastal counterparts with ancient rock formations, vibrant red soil and a rich Aboriginal heritage.

Book your holiday in Alice Springs with Virgin Australia today and venture to the Red Centre.

Alice Springs Attractions

Uluru

Otherwise known as Ayers Rock, this red sandstone monolith is undoubtedly the star attraction of the region. And while it may be an additional 450 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs, this Australian icon proves more than worth the extra mileage. Dominating the surrounding plains across an expanse of nearly 10 kilometres, Uluru becomes a canvas for spectacular light shows, with particularly impressive displays at dawn and dusk. For the full experience, embark on an Uluru tour from Alice Springs and discover Ayers Rock in the company of a local guide.

Simpson Gap

Nestled in the West MacDonnell Ranges, Simpsons Gap offers visitors a fascinating excursion far closer to the city. Situated less than 20 kilometres from Alice Springs, this time-carved gorge is home to a diverse collection of native flora and fauna, from black-footed rock wallabies to ancient ghost gums. Explore the area on foot on one of the short walking tracks, or embark on a multi-day adventure across the Larapinta Trail, which stretches for hundreds of kilometres through the surrounding ranges.

Araluen Arts Centre

An ideal way to discover local Aboriginal culture without straying from the city limits, the Araluen Arts Centre offers a window into the world’s oldest ongoing creative tradition, with a collection of more than 1,100 artworks that embody the region. Adjacent to the gallery, The Museum of Central Australia provides a fascinating look into the area’s natural history, with everything from dinosaur fossils to prehistoric insects on display.

Karlu Karlu

A must-see attraction for travellers who have time for multiple day trips, this peculiar collection of granite boulders north of Alice Springs proves worthy of the five-hour journey. Also known as the Devils Marbles, these million-year-old artefacts are steeped in the folklore of the local Warmungu people, giving visitors a fascinating insight into the mythology of the region. Be sure to plan your visit for sunrise or sunset, when the stones of Karlu Karlu are set alight with vibrant hues of yellow, orange and red.

Alice Springs Restaurants

Overlanders Steakhouse

Decorated in the style of a traditional cattle station, it comes no as no surprise this outback restaurant specialises in steaks – but beef isn’t the only thing on the menu at Overlanders Steakhouse. Perfect for travellers with a more adventurous palate, this quirky eatery takes locally-sourced produce to a whole new level with everything from kangaroo and camel to crocodile on the menu.

Red Ochre Grill

Nestled in Alice Springs’ main promenade, Todd Mall, Red Ochre Grill offers Modern Australian dining with an Outback twist. Sample traditional Australian damper bread, served with lemon myrtle butter, or dig in to crocodile spare ribs with a Davidson plum glaze. For a more comprehensive taste of the NT, tuck in to Red Ochre’s signature grazing platter, which highlights the state’s native produce with succulent bites of smoked kangaroo, bush tomato relish and more.

Hanuman Restaurant

Alice Springs may be the last place you’d expect to find world class South East Asian cuisine, but this Thai and Indian fusion restaurant proves the Red Centre is more than capable of catering to global tastes. Start your dinner with Hanuman’s oysters, which offer a refreshing pop of lemongrass, ginger and chilli, then choose a selection of more substantial dishes to share. From turmeric coconut curries with wild-caught barramundi to succulent prawn pakoras, Hanuman Restaurant brings a world of flavour to the NT.

Alice Springs Weather

With temperatures and rainfall varying year on year, travellers to Alice Springs should be prepared for a number of weather conditions before they take off. From November to March, temperatures hover around the mid-to-high thirties, while April to October sees slightly cooler conditions develop. Despite its reputation as a hot, arid desert, the winter months in Alice Springs have been known to bring on temperatures below zero, meaning travellers should pack an equal supply of cold and warm weather wear depending on the season.

Arriving at Alice Springs Airport

Once you touch down at Alice Springs Airport, a wide variety of car hire providers and transfer services make getting into the city simple. If you’re planning to extend your trip in the Outback aboard the Indian Pacific or the Ghan, skip the car rental in Alice Springs in favour of a taxi, which can be organised from the terminal on arrival.
