Radelaide, you’ve done it again.

The South Australian capital has been named the world’s new No. 1 place to be, according to the latest 2017 travel predictions.

Hot on the heels of Lonely Planet’s rating of South Australia in its top 10 regions to visit in 2017, emerging travel website Trip.com has rated Adelaide No. 1 on its list of rising star destinations, describing it as a “stately, enjoyable city”.

• AUSTRALIA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL HIDDEN GEMS

• KANGAROO ISLAND NAMED IN WORLD’S TOP 10

The city beat other trendsetting destinations including Cuba, Medellin in Colombia, Malta and Bath in the UK.

The site’s reasoning — natural attractions, wineries, dining and festivals — won’t come as a surprise to Adelaideans.

“Did you know that Adelaide is at the front door of South Australia’s magical nature, the wines of the Barossa Valley, plays host to the Adelaide Festival and Fringe Festival, is studded with great restaurants (like Peel Street), has a ‘Kangaroo Island’ (pristine nature reserve where you can observe the cuddly (looking) wildlife)? Neither did most of us, but people are starting to discover this Australian metropolis in spades,” the listing explains.

The site names The Playford Adelaide — MGallery Collection, Peel Street and Kangaroo Island as its top recommendations to stay, eat and play.

The Playford Adelaide is Trip.com’s top tip for accommodation.

But the news isn’t all good for Australia, with Melbourne appearing at No. 3 on Trip.com’s list of declining destinations. However, the site credits the Victorian city’s “European flair, its laid-back flip-flop feeling and proximity to wine country” with making it worthy of a second look.

The newly rebranded Trip.com (formerly Gogobot) uses artificial intelligence to make travel recommendations based on users’ interests.

Its rising star ratings recognise up-and-coming culinary scenes, sultry night-life, uncrowded beaches, creative (with a dash of hipster) festivals, and historic architecture given freshly-polished life.

Peel Street is Adelaide’s go-to eat street.
