Guide to Launceston and surrounds
Discover epic nature, intriguing history and beautiful regional dining as you travel through Tasmania's north.
Northern Tasmania is a feast for the senses. Step off the beaten track to discover secluded beaches, historic heritage estates and forests teeming with wildlife. The towns are just as spectacular; rich in history and enveloped by world-class wineries and meandering waterways – it’s a beautiful blend of nature, culture, history and cuisine.
Launceston Airport is only accessible on a domestic flights. So if you are visiting from overseas, you'll need to transfer through another Australian city or drive north from Hobart Airport.
Once you reach Launceston, your best option for exploring Tasmania's northern region is by hiring a car.
Staying true to the famous Tasmanian climate, Launceston is cooler than other Australian destinations all year round. Summer is a great time to visit, when the sky is clear, the weather is warm and the festivals and events are in abundance.
