TOP 10 HIGHLIGHTS OF HOBART

Tasmania's capital has it all - incredible art galleries, stunning historic hotels, unique shopping... all fringed by scenic wilderness. Book a trip and sample these highlights.

1 STAY AT THE HENRY JONES ART HOTEL

Art and history lovers should look no further than The Henry Jones Art Hotel. Housed in the former IXL Jam Factory, 500 works of art line the 19th-century sandstone walls, with no two of the 56 rooms and suites alike. Stay within this commercial art gallery for a sophisticated and deeply engaging experience, on Hobart’s waterfront. Book in for an entertaining and informative art and history tour – a glass of Tasmanian sparkling wine in hard – to explore the design and contemporary local art. Start the day with brekkie at The Lounge and end with a nightcap in the theatrical IXL Long Bar. There’s also a range of restaurants to try, from local produce at Peacock and Jones to succulent steak at Landscape Restaurant & Grill. Visit thehenryjones.com.

2 SHOP AT SALAMANCA MARKET

Celebrating its 50th year, Salamanca Market encapsulates Tasmania’s unique essence with every taste, sight, scent, story and artisanal product. Every Saturday, more than 300 makers and creators gather to celebrate Tassie’s slower pace of life with goods produced by traditional or oft-forgotten methods. Take home hand-forged wares from Custom Iron or luxurious alpaca wool products from Alpaca South. Also sample some of Tassie’s finest produce – be sure to try the Taiwanese steamed buns from Deep End Farm. Visit salamancamarket.com.au.
