Hobart | Explore the Best of the City on Foot in Half a Day 🍨

Hobart’s city center is compact yet vibrant — you can easily cover all the highlights in just half a day, with everything within a 10-minute walk! Follow this route to discover Salamanca Market and the iconic Van Diemens Land Creamery. 1️⃣ Salamanca Market 🕘 Open: Saturdays 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM ⭐️ No amount of stars can do it justice — this market has it all: crafts, clothing, souvenirs, and delicious food! Stretching east to west with four rows of stalls, each one is worth exploring. Here are my top picks: No.1: Souvenir stalls near the waterfront — everything is super affordable! You’ll find lavender soaps, sachets, magnets, plush kangaroos/koalas/wombats, scarves, gloves… Most items are just $5–$10 💰 No.2: The lavender-themed stalls in the middle — a purple paradise! A bit pricey but beautiful to see 💜 No.3: Chocolate stall by the sea — premium chocolates with free tastings! The staff are super friendly 🍫 🥳 Stay until at least 11:40 AM — that’s when the ice cream shop opens! 2️⃣ Brooke Street Pier (5-min walk) ⛵️ Fun pirate ship photo spot! Perfect for a stroll along the pier with nice views of boats and the harbour. 3️⃣ Van Diemens Land Creamery (5-min walk) 🕛 Open: 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM 🍦 Home to what might be the best ice cream in the Southern Hemisphere! Note: It opens at noon — so time your market visit accordingly. The shop floats right on the water 🚢, and they offer free tastings! Prices are very reasonable. Must-try: Pepperberry & Leatherwood Honey — a unique blend of mild pepper spice and sweet honey. I’ve been dreaming about it for two months! 🤤 #Hobart #SalamancaMarket #TravelGuide #LocalExperiences #IceCreamLover #WeekendVibes
