Some nice quality good available in some nicely appointed stores. Look around before you buy The Art of Silver has a good collection. Some stores have staff who don't even acknowledge you when you walk in - we decided not to spend in these places as we consider this rude. Given the economic climate - a hello doesn't go astray...

Great place to spend an hour or so browsing local examples of art, photography and design. Very well organised and plenty of different types of art to see. Very reasonable prices and also a couple of great places for a snack or coffee.

Have a wander through the alleys here - pick up a souvenir of your stay, a bottle of Tassie wine and then have a beer in the square.

Take time to visit the Salamanca Arts Centre. There is a lot to see and many well priced items to consider.

So much on offer here, a varied and interesting mix of local produce, crafts and quirky things. It was a really good shopping day.

Expected a wonderful craft market but found it full of cheap imported rubbish...a few things of interest but most things you would find the the $2 junk shops

Saturdays is market day in Salamanca Place, Hobart. Lots of lovely handmade arts and crafts. It is a large market set in an area that has many restaurants, cafes and galleries. The design market at MONA on Saturday is lovely too. The schedule for which day it falls on changes with the seasons, so check to make sure you don't... More

It was enjoyable to walk around the centre. We visited A Common Ground store owned by Matt Evans from A Gourmet Farmer on SBS. Good selection of cheese available for tastings. Found some books at the second hand book store. The plaza area is great for kids to run around.

So pleased to see at least 90% of stalls are local well made either craft or food . So many city markets these days are just containers of ""imported goods""you can purchase any city in any country. The variety was amazing.
