Best Local Scene in Hobart "Best Local Scene in Hobart" Realizado por : Cityseeker 7 Ubicaciones indicadas Salamanca Market "Shopping Galore!" Salamanca Market is a great place to buy that unusual gift or souvenir or just enjoy browsing through more than 300 stalls. Buy jewelry and local crafts, fruit, vegetables and home baking, clothing and millinery, flowers and second-hand goods. And if the stalls are not enough to entice, the market takes place along the historic Waterfront with beautifully restored by Robyn Jay sandstone warehouses now converted into boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, cafes and bars across the road from a pleasant park. Note that credit cards are not accepted by all stall holders. +61 3 6238 2843 Salamanca Place, Hobart TAS Salamanca Place "Renovated Historic Waterfront" Once the heart of Hobart's trade and commerce, Salamanca Place has been a significant feature of the city's landscape since the 1830s. Today, the row of beautifully-renovated sandstone warehouses that line the historic Hobart Waterfront are filled with stylish bars, art studios, bookshops, boutiques, restaurants, jewelry stores, and outdoor cafes, by Bryn Pinzgauer making Salamanca Place a lovely spot to window shop or relax with a cappuccino. Visitors to the area should swing by on Sunday to catch the beloved Salamanca Market, which comprises hundreds of stalls selling local wares and snacks. Visitors can also check out the nearby Salamanca Square, a restful respite within the lively hotspot. Come in the evening for a chance to see the site's surrounding trees done up with fairy lights. www.australia.com/en-us/places/tas/hobart-salamanca- Salamanca Place, Hobart TAS place.html Sullivan's Cove "Hobart's Earliest Footsteps" Niberlooner was the aboriginal name for Sullivan's Cove, which was renamed on 21st February 1804 by Lieutenant David Collins. He made his way ashore via a small rocky outcrop he called Hunter Island. Collins chose the cove because of its fresh water supply and protected anchorage. Thousands of convicts landed here from England. Formerly by Jorge Láscar from the center for salt factories, abattoirs and bone yards, Sullivans Cove is Australia enjoying a new lease of life as a cultural and residential area. +61 3 6238 2711 (Tourist Information) [email protected] Franklin Wharf, Hobart TAS Hobart Waterfront "Waterfront Renaissance" The Hobart Waterfront is coming back to life. Former warehouses and factories are now art and craft outlets, galleries and restaurants. Brooke Street Pier and Victoria Docks, once home to trading ketches, whaling boats, tuna fleets and liners now give mooring to pleasure craft, ocean- going yachts, ferries and fishing boats while Princes Wharf, New Wharf by Michael Coghlan and Elizabeth Street Pier accommodate apartments and cafes. +61 3 6238 2711 (Tourist hobartwaterfront.com.au/ [email protected] Brooke Street, Hobart TAS Information) North Hobart "Entertaining Mix" One of the city's suburbs, North Hobart has as much to offer as the rest of the city. Trinity Church was designed by James Blackburn and has one of the oldest peal of bells on the continent. The only Quaker educational establishment in the southern hemisphere, Friends School, is situated at the top of Argyle Street. In March, streets are closed for the annual Estia by Elizabeth Greek festival. The main thoroughfare is a mix of restaurants, cafes and art galleries and includes the licensed State Cinema. +61 3 6238 2711 (Tourist Information) [email protected] North Hobart, Hobart TAS Queens Domain "Picnics & Scenic Walks" Shortly after the Hobart colony was established in 1803, the high ground to the north of the city was allocated for the personal use of the Governor, protecting it from development. Queens Domain is now meant to belong to the citizens of Hobart and serves as a respite from daily life. Views of the city and the Derwent River and a large public park are just two of the by VirtualWolf reasons locals love Queens Domain. One can swing by a playing field, pack a picnic, or spectate a game of cricket here for a fun and easy getaway.
