Salamanca Market

    

    

       
      In a nutshell:
        
 On Hobart's waterfront, you'll find Salamanca Place, a quayside street 
          lined with old sandstone warehouses now containing bars, cafes, restaurants, 
          art galleries, craft shops and more. On Saturdays, all year round, Salamanca 
          is filled with a colourful outdoor market featuring stalls laden with 
          everything from local produce to fine crafts, clothing to antiques.
        
 A tree lined park extends along the place, with Parliament House gardens adjacent. Walk around the waterfront, which is dotted with interesting businesses, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Maritime Museum and many historic buildings. The whole waterfront is open to the public. 
        
 A short walk away is Battery Point - a quaint historic suburb with 
          narrow winding streets running down to shipyards and chandleries. Many 
          buildings in the area have been preserved from first settlement in the 
          early 1800's.
        
 A guided walking tour is available, given sufficient prior notice.
