The post Make the Best of Your Visit to Tasmania’s Iconic Salamanca Market in Hobart appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>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.

]]>Amazing Collection
MONA is, first and foremost, a museum and its amazing exhibits deserve a moment of your time. Most of the art pieces, around 2,000 in total, are a part of David Walsh’s private collection. They’re displayed in a pretty unique way, with no labels, and in non-chronological order, but you can learn a lot about them thanks to the audio guide.
Architectural Gem
In addition to being home to an impressive art collection, MONA’s building is a work of art in its own right. This is one of the biggest architectural marvels in all of Tasmania and it’s equally impressive when you get inside thanks to its futuristic spiral staircases.
Wine and Dine
If you want to end your visit to MONA on a high note, visit one of the chic cafés and restaurants on its premises. The Source and Faro are two of the most popular options, but wine lovers should also give Moorilla Wine Bar a shot.
