r/Launceston

Hi everyone!

Im from Argentina and I recently moved to a small town about an hour from Launceston, and I’d like to start making weekly trips into the city.

I’m looking for recommendations for things to do — interesting events, activities, markets, live music, pubs, unusual places, good food, or anything else you think is worth checking out.

I’m not necessarily looking for typical tourist attractions. I’d love to hear about places or activities that locals enjoy, especially things I could do on a regular basis.

Thanks!

Hobart is getting Lime bikes to replace Beam. What about Launceston?

Visiting Launnie for the first time and looking for a recommendation for a 40th birthday dinner for couple and 6 year old. Open to any cuisine, must be special but comfortable, and not over the top or ridiculously priced. Kid is well behaved and a good eater but must still be suitable. Staying near the seaport so close by would be great but not necessary. Can’t wait to visit your lovely city!

Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I are moving from the Gold Coast and landing in Tassie on August 15th, looking for a cozy spot to settle into.

​I'll be working as a mental health clinician in town and she is a pastry chef. We're in our mid-20s, very respectful, and mostly out at work during the week. We are also completely happy to start in a short-term rental until we find a permanent place!

​We're hoping to find a master bedroom, a studio/apartment, or a quiet shared house with just a few housemates. We've tried Marketplace and local rental groups with no luck, so trying my luck here, if you have anything available or coming up, let's chat!
