Sightseeing

This has to be one of my favorite places, the atmosphere and culture is electric., its a beautiful place with a soul. Tasmania's own market operates every Saturday except in extreme weather conditions. Because you are visiting an outdoor market, you should plan to be suitably dressed for the weather, which can be unpredictable. If the market is cancelled for any reason, an alert will be published on the Salamanca Market Facebook page.
