Salamanca Market, operated by the Hobart City Council, has become something of an institution in Hobart. It began with humble beginnings in 1972 with just 10 stalls occupying a small section of historic Salamanca Place.
The friendly atmosphere at Salamanca Market is highly seductive. Worth a visit, if only for the streetscape, famous for its historic Georgian warehouses, dating back to the 1830s, watch that you don't get sucked into buying a singing fish you will want to hide in the attic once you get home. Many of those warehouses have been converted into galleries, theatres, cafes, craft shops and restaurants. In my humble opinion some of the best and freshest food in the world is produced right here in Tasmania.
Tasmanian arts, crafts, food and flowers are displayed at Salamanca Market. It offers a shopping experience with a difference. Salamanca Market is one of those special places where you actually meet the people who create, make or grow what they sell.
