 Cafés along Salamanca Place. by seamandrew Salamanca Place is a row of old sandstone warehouses that are ideally situated along the waterfront. This area was once the buisness headquarters for Hobart's wealthy merchants but the whole area fell into disrepair until the late 1960's according to my guidebook. Apparently, a group of artists met to turn one of the warehouses into a working space. A revival soon followed. Today, Salamanca place is the spirtual home of Hobart's small but vital creative community and it is lined with galleries, cafés and restaurants, and of course, the ever popular Salamanca Market. This market is held every Saturday morning and is the biggest of it's kind in Australia. Unfortunately, Liz and I visitied Tasmania mid-week and did not get to see the Market. I'm sure it's well worth the trip though! My apologies for the poor picture.. when the market is open, the cars in this picture are long gone and road is open only to pedestrian traffic.

 Salamanca at Night by ATXtraveler One of the beautiful sights we saw on our driving tour of Hobart were the beautiful streets of Salamanca Market on the Southern side of Hobart. After a wonderful dinner on the Elizabeth Street Pier we went over to the Salamanca Market to enjoy the lights! It seemed that every single branch on the tree was lighted, and it definitely did not seem like any other town I have been in Australia to this point! Leave a Comment

Every Saturday, from 8.30 - 3pm, in Salamanca Place, 300 stall holders set up and the Salamanca Markets are held. All sorts are for sale here, it is very busy, and takes a while to have a look around. We browsed around the stalls and had a very enjoyable morning here.

by j-san Salamanca Market on Saturdays is really wonderful. There is a strong 'alternative' community in Hobart (as well as the 'red-necks' that the rest of OZ can't seem to help teasing Tasmania about...) and it makes its presence felt at this once a week market. Many of the stalls sell organic fruit and vegetables, bread made from natural yeast and organic flour, even organic beef! And if you know the right people (wink wink! nudge dudge!) you can even get organic, unpasteurized cheese!! (illegal in Australia...) This market also sells the best apples - such an unbelievable variety, super cheap and freshly picked off the trees! The farm I worked on was exporting its apples to Japan even! Unbelievably delicious! Besides all that, you can also buy many kitschy little hand-made things to take back home... eg. tea-cossies, hankies... ;) Leave a Comment Other Contact: Outdoor Market in the heart of t

by chi_quita go to the Salamanca Markets!!! In winter!!! Eat donuts and buy funky wire sculptures for your family at home in Brisvegas. Dance to a groovy Mexican band busking on the street. Warm yourself by wearing longjohns (being from Brissy I was hopelessy unprepared!), and the hand dryers in the loos!! There are lots of great little knick knacks to buy that are LOCALLY MADE! and not cheap fakes from Taiwan.

Salamanca Market, operated by the Hobart City Council, has become something of an institution in Hobart. It began with humble beginnings in 1972 with just 10 stalls occupying a small section of historic Salamanca Place. The friendly atmosphere at Salamanca Market is highly seductive. Worth a visit, if only for the streetscape, famous for its historic Georgian warehouses, dating back to the 1830s, watch that you don't get sucked into buying a singing fish you will want to hide in the attic once you get home. Many of those warehouses have been converted into galleries, theatres, cafes, craft shops and restaurants. In my humble opinion some of the best and freshest food in the world is produced right here in Tasmania. Tasmanian arts, crafts, food and flowers are displayed at Salamanca Market. It offers a shopping experience with a difference. Salamanca Market is one of those special places where you actually meet the people who create, make or grow what they sell. Directions: Salamanca Place is easily located on a Saturday, just South of the wharf and East of Davy Street. Salamanca Market is held every Saturday. The market operates from 8.30am - 3pm.Other Contact: A little more information can be
