Charming local markets are scattered all around Hobart, but none of them comes even close to Salamanca. One of the top attractions of the Tasmanian capital, this iconic market is beloved by tourists and locals alike, and our brief guide will help you make the best of your visit.
Right Place, Right Time
Salamanca Market isn’t one of those attractions you can visit whenever you want to. Its doors are only open on Saturdays between 8.30 am and 3 pm, so plan your visit to Hobart accordingly if you want to check it out.
Take Your Time
It’s highly recommended to head to Salamanca Market early in the morning since it will take some time to explore it. Don’t rush things when you’re there because you’ll have the best experience while simply wandering through the stalls.
Cash is a Must
You should always bring some cash with you when shopping at foreign markets, including Salamanca. Some vendors will accept card payments, but that won’t be the case with all of them.
Foodies’ Paradise
Salamanca is a great place to shop for souvenirs and handmade local crafts, but the fun doesn’t end there. Your visit to this iconic venue will be incomplete if you don’t explore some of the delicious local foods it has in store.
