Salamanca Market

The Saturday Market in Salamanca Square is considered the best open market in Tasmania. Only here you can immerse yourself in a rainbow of flowers, fireworks smells and tastes, take a time tour, trying on vintage things, and buy a unique souvenir for friends.

The market is located between elegant plane trees, in the shadow of the historical facades of ancient port warehouses. Their walls of a warm sand hue even on an overcast day add light and cheer up. More than three hundred stalls appear in Salamanca Square every Saturday morning. Have patience, connect healthy excitement - and go! Imagine yourself a researcher immersed in the wonderful world of folk art, fine and culinary arts, the world of traditions of the people of Tasmania.

What unique things you can find here! For example, fragments of ancient porcelain dishes, framed in silver and turned into pendants and earrings. Or, for example, miniature animal figurines made of Juan pine, a local endemic. You will not leave indifferent old books and postcards, glassblowers and potters, paintings by modern artists, unusual lamps and coins of the era of colonization. And all this to the sounds of jazz or to the melody of a string quartet - street musicians are not averse to working on a Saturday day.

If you are tired of shopping, sit in the shade of the plane tree, drink local wine, eat it with excellent homemade cheese – and you can start your journey again through the fascinating world of Salamanca market.
