Launceston

Q: What is Launceston Best Known For?

Launceston’s great outdoors make for a scenic respite from the city. Unlike its crowded big city neighbors, the atmosphere is laid-back and friendly with lots of food and wine to sample. Staycations are also highly-recommended thanks to their premium hotels and lodgings.

Q: When is the Best Time to Visit Launceston?

From treetop adventures to wine tasting, you'll never run out of things to do in Launceston. Most of the more adventurous activities and winery tours are best done from March to May though, when the sun is at its highest. The calm weather also welcomes the blooming season.

Q: Where is the Best Location for Tourists to Stay in Launceston?

The best way to maximize your visit to Launceston is to stay in the city center, where most of its attractions are located. If you want a view to wake up to, check out accommodations near the North Esk River or City Park. This area is near the Tamar River, making it easier for tourists to explore the city from north to south.

The Tasmanian city of Launceston is one of Australia's oldest, and it's packed with excellent food and wine, charming landscapes, and gorgeous scenery. You're sure to fall in love with the elegant Victorian cityscape, century-old parks, and so much more that 'Lonnie' has to offer to its guests.

Smell the lavender fields even before you lay your eyes on the delicate yet vibrant flowers at the Bridestowe Lavender Estate. Looking for world-class wine? Josef Chromy Winery has been producing some of Tasmania's best wines since 1888, so Lonnie's got you covered! Grounded in its rich history, the city has a tasteful blend of nostalgic and contemporary that'll leave you hungry to keep exploring. Settle into a peaceful atmosphere with lush greenery all around you, and enjoy every corner of Launceston that welcomes you with open arms.
