Kickstart your trip to Tasmania with a visit to the charming riverside city of Launceston. It’s one of Australia’s oldest cities, boasting Georgian to mid-20th century architecture that history buffs will loathe missing. What distinguishes Launceston from the others is its recognition as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. The gourmet scene thrives with ample options for fine dining and the acclaimed Harvest Market Launceston, carving a place in the hearts of foodies. Even so, the show is not complete without sampling the wines along the nearby Tamar Valley Wine Trail, including but not limited to chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and pinot noir.
With such a rich display of culture, it would be a shame not to experience the vibrance of this city with your furry friends. For pet parents looking for a place to rest their heads, check out the best pet- & dog-friendly accommodations in Launceston, Australia.
