Your morning will be spent at Salamanca Market; one of Hobart's most popular outdoor market where you'll be given ample time to explore, have a browse and make a few purchases if you find something that catches your eye. This is a thriving market loved by locals and visitors alike and known for stalls that sell a range of unique knick knacks you'll fall in love with.
