Many Tasmanian visitors shape their stay around being in Hobart on a Saturday. They know that Australia’s largest outdoor market is not to be missed — and Salamanca Market always delivers. From fresh produce and wood-fired pizza to Huon pine picnic planks and silver smiths manning their own stalls, Salamanca is a feast for the senses. This is followed up by the Farmers Market in Hobart’s Bathurst Street each Sunday, and there are plenty of other markets and events to enjoy.

Plan your trip around a market or event and get amongst the lively locals. If you’re looking for things to do in and around Hobart, look no further…

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present.
