Salamanca Place and Salamanca Market - Tasmania's number ONE Lifestyle Precinct

Getting to Tasmania by Ship or Airline

First you have to get to Tasmania. Tasmania, or, "Tassie", as many Australians like to call it it an island, so you have to fly or sail here. The most comfortable way to get here is by boat, and the TT-Line vessel "Spirit of Tasmania" sails from Station Pier in Melbourne's Docklands district to Devonport, which is in the middle of our Northern Coastline. See this page for more information. Once you get onto the island, you'll drive for about three hours to get to Salamanca. Accommodation information and bookings, HERE.

Public Transport
Hobart has a great public transport system, but Salamanca Place is just about within walking distance from anywhere in Hobart. Catch any bus to the city and it's only a few blocks. Basically from the city head downhill until you reach the rivers edge and follow the waters edge until you see the old stone warehouses. That's the Place! 

You'll be able to get a cab most times, but don't count on finding one on New Years Eve.

Driving
If you take it easy, you'll find most people here are courteous on the road. Parking is available near most of the places mentioned. Please know that tourists occasionally crash here because they cover larger distances that they usually drive, on roads that are designed to carry lower volumes of traffic than other capital cities. So, please take it easy, and pull over if you see more that a couple of cars banking up behind you. We drive on the left side of the road!

Hobart is a 1 hour flight from Melbourne. Virgin Blue, Jetstar and Qantas offer several flights each day. Virgin Blue offers the best facilities in Melbourne if you are connecting to other places, with Jetstar you have to collect your bags between flights and maybe even go to another airport for a connection.
