About Salamanca Market

Held every Saturday in Hobart City Centre for more than 50 years, Salamanca Market is one of Tasmania's top tourist attractions and is generally recognized as one of the best and most lively markets in all of Australia. Held year-round in historic Salamanca Place, this is the perfect way to see what Hobart offers in terms of shopping, apart from the well-known shopping district of Elizabeth Street. Vendors at the market provide Tasmania's biggest selection of locally made goods, including glasswork, cosmetics, vintage clothing, leather goods, ceramics, and Tasmanian timber. Plus, there are always street entertainers and food vendors here, adding to the carnival atmosphere. If you're visiting Hobart at any time of year, you owe it to yourself to explore this wonderful market and maybe pick up some unique souvenirs from a locally operated business or two.
