Salamanca Market pleasantly confuses your senses: a cacophony of sounds with buskers singing and grocers spruiking their wares; the smell of cooking bratwurst or local huon pine crafts; the feel of a merino scarf or soft leather handbag; the taste of a freshly brewed coffee and crunch of juicy apple; all contributing to the bustling sight in front of you. Which way to go?

The Hobart waterfront, established during the time of penal settlement has long been a home to the Salamanca Markets, bustling on a Saturday morning. Farmers, Artists & more earn their living here.
