The best shopping in Hobart isn't in the malls — it's on the streets. From vintage stores to artisan workshops, spots like Salamanca Place and Saturday Market are scattered through neighborhoods that reward the curious walker. Wander further and you'll stumble on Farm Gate Market — the kind of find you can't replicate online.
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 shopping 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.
Use this page as a starting point for a Hobart walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Hobart. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Visitors explore Hobart for art and food, but every walking route ends up passing through Salamanca Place and Saturday Market and neighborhood markets that tell their own story about the city. Don't overlook Farm Gate Market — it reflects what the people of Hobart actually buy, make, and value.
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.
