Hobart Saturday market, museum and gardens

Why go

This Hobart route is for a Saturday when Salamanca Market is running. Begin among the stalls, then walk along the waterfront to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for a closer look at the island's art and history. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens make a calmer final stop, but the walk from the museum is the longest leg of the day, so allow for a steady pace. Give the market enough time without letting it crowd out the museum, which has an earlier finish than the gardens. Check the current market and venue notices before you travel.
