Attractions

The Royal Yacht Club of Tasmania (RYCT) is proud of its achievements over almost 135 years of service to yachting and the community. In that time the RYCT has grown from a club established to support the needs of a group of dedicated sailors running yacht races on the River Derwent through to today, now servicing thousands of sailors and jointly managing, with the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, one of the world’s greatest blue water classics the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. But it’s not all about racing, with regular cruising and social events, junior sailing programs, training and education opportunities, plus excellent function facilities and a delicious Bistro menu.

Few cities in the world combine metropolitan proximity with sprawling gardens, beaches and marinas as Hobart does. This is no more evident than at Tasmania’s entertainment and conference epicentre.

Salamanca Market is Tasmania's most visited tourism attraction and runs each Saturday from 8.30 am to 3 pm, rain, hail or shine.

The market extends the full length of Hobart's historic Salamanca Place, from the silos end to the top of Davey Street. You will find a huge selection of locally made products and you can meet the makers, the artisans, the designers and producers.

With over 300 stallholders, the market includes fresh produce from local growers, hot coffee, delicious breakfast and lunch options, lots of gift ideas and plenty of handmade products.

The market is one of those special places where you can find plenty of handmade and home-grown produce, mingle with the locals, enjoy the vibrancy and atmosphere, and discover the heart of a creative island.

Food and grocery retailers are businesses that sell food, beverages, and household staples directly to consumers. This sector encompasses a wide variety of formats, from large supermarkets and hypermarkets to smaller convenience stores, specialty food shops, and online grocery delivery services

The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) is a unique cultural institution - combining a museum, art gallery, and herbarium.

We create enduring value by sharing inspiring stories of our island home through art, science, culture, and history.

As the custodian of the State Collections and cultural heart of Tasmania, we collect, conserve, research, and create to enrich lives through meaningful engagement with the collection; and offer opportunities for learning and discovery through exhibitions, events, and research.

Ninja Stadium is nestled on the eastern shores of the Derwent River, a mere ten minute drive from Hobart’s CBD

Mona is a museum in Hobart, Tasmania.

We’ve got old art. New art. A library. Winery. Dark corners. Nice views. Music.

Come along, catch the ferry, drink wine, eat oysters. Talk crap about the art. You’ll love it.

We’re open Thursday to Monday, 10am⁠–⁠5pm.

Choose from various departures and options—some with onboard lunch or dinner—to suit your preferences and schedule; and enjoy the unobstructed views that can only be had from the water. Pass sights such as the Botanical Gardens, and hear tales about them from the onboard commentary that you may otherwise miss.
