Salamanca Market

When you are looking for somewhere beautiful to spend holiday, Hobart should be at the top of the list. The city is Tasmania’s historic capital and provides plenty of things to see and do on your trip, and whether you love the wonders of the outdoors or want to immerse yourself in cultural activities, Hobart has it all. One place you must have on your to-do list is a visit to Salamanca Market, which is only a short walk from the city centre. Whether you want to visit Hobart on holiday in the winter or summer, the market is open year-round each Saturday.

Since it is a short walking distance from the city centre, you can easily walk down to the market for a relaxing stroll, but there are also taxis and buses available should you not be so close. Salamanca Market is the perfect place to go when you want to surround yourself with delicious foods, friendly people and plenty to see and do – since it is considered Australia’s best outdoor market. Grab your friends or family and browse Tasmanian art, or pick up something from the market to decorate your home with, such as a handmade ceramic vase or glass ornament.

The Taste Festival, which takes place each summer during the end of December, lasts for seven days and is a perfect activity for foodies around the world to come check out. The beautiful waterfront and historic buildings give the Taste Festival ideal scenery and plenty of options to enjoy foods and wine.

The Taste Festival offers a variety of activities, whether you are there with your family or just a significant other. Outdoor games, face painting and stage shows provides your family and children with amusements and entertainment, while adults have the option of ringing in the new year with one of the more popular events in Hobart, the New Year’s Eve at the Taste Festival.

When you are on holiday, tourists love to immerse themselves in the local sights. The Salamanca Market is a one-stop destination when you want to taste local flavours, enjoy music, check out various art forms, and pick up gifts for you and those back home. After you have walked around the market, stroll down to the waterfront to enjoy the yachts and boats come in and out of the harbour for a perfect picnic lunch or to soak up the sun.
