What our travelers think about their stay
A town nestling in the heart of the Australian continent, Alice Springs was born from an abortive gold rush. Nowadays, it's the departure point for visits to Ayers Rock.
My suggestion
Avoid the town during the Australian summer (December to March) when the stifling temperatures prevent you from really enjoying the splendour of the surrounding countryside.

My suggestion
Alice Springs is not a very safe place at night, if you're a woman then avoid walking or going back to your hotel alone.
30 km to the south of Stuart Highway, which crosses Australia from end to end, Alice Springs seems to be completely alone in the vast Red Centre.
My suggestion
From May to August, there are a great number festivals organised in Alice Springs.
