]]>Perfect Timing
You’ll end up missing Salamanca Market altogether if you’re not in Hobart at the right time. This iconic venue is only open on Saturdays between 8.30 am and 3 pm, so make sure to get there early to beat the crowds.
Bring Some Cash
Even though many vendors accept card payments, it’s always a good idea to have cash at hand when exploring local markets in foreign countries, and Salamanca is no exception.
Don’t Rush It
Salamanca Market is pretty gigantic, so take your time to explore it properly. Wander through its many charming stalls to fully discover all the tiny wonders that it has in store.

Tourists often only visit Salamanca Market to take some photos, buy souvenirs, and see what the fuss is all about, but the fun doesn’t end there. A visit to this market is incomplete if you don’t try some delicacies of the local cuisine since food stalls happen to be one of Salamanca’s biggest draws.
