The real Hobart lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find places like Farm Gate Market that make a city worth knowing. Even around well-known spots like Salamanca Place and Saturday Market, one street over the crowds disappear entirely.
Hobart is Australia's most intimate capital, a waterfront city nestled beneath the dramatic bulk of kunanyi/Mount Wellington with a booming food and art scene. Walking its Georgian sandstone streets and Saturday market reveals Tasmania's creative soul.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided off-the-beaten-path walking tour route in Hobart. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Salamanca Place and Saturday Market — sandstone warehouses from the 1830s hosting Tasmania's biggest market with 300+ stalls of produce, crafts, and local food, plus hidden gems like Farm Gate Market — a Sunday morning market showcasing Tasmania's extraordinary produce, smaller and more local than Salamanca.

Most visitors come to Hobart for the well-known art and food attractions, but the most memorable moments happen off the main path. Side streets one block from Salamanca Place and Saturday Market, residential quarters, quiet courtyards — these are the parts of Hobart that feel genuine. Places like Farm Gate Market are the kind of spots locals would actually recommend.
Hobart is hilly but compact — Battery Point involves steep climbs, while the waterfront is flat and easy.
December through March offers the warmest weather and longest days; MONA FOMA (January) and Dark Mofo (June) are must-see festivals.
