What to do and see in Hobart, Tasmania: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops

April 17, 2022 Joeann Galban

Perched on Tasmania’s southeastern coast, the lively city of Hobart is a unique mash-up of the 19th and 21st centuries. The waterfront cafes, restaurants and studios of the largest city in Tasmania are housed in centuries-old converted warehouses that overlook a harbor bustling with yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, vibrant nightlife and leisurely daytime pace add to the city’s charm.

Reviewed By andrewfionaj - Sydney, Australia

We loved our time in Hobart and on our last morning, right on Salamanca Place, we found some fab and unique art pieces in Aspect Design to take home as special gifts for our family. The Mark Knight crystalline glazed ceramics were so beautiful we bought 2 pieces and the wonderful Glenda ensured they were packed that well that they survived the flight home! I'm kicking myself for not buying myself a few Mark Knight pieces too! For lovely unique things that are not the usual "tourist tat", I'd pop in here for sure next time...even just to say hi to the lovely smiley Glenda again!
