The Tamar Valley is Tasmania’s premier food and wine producing region, so local produce is widely used in the city’s award winning eating establishments, which although predominantly Anglo-Saxon do cater for other cuisines.
Launceston has a relatively quiet nightlife, but is home to the world famous J Boag & Son brewery.
The town offers a variety of accommodation that is good value and fairly central with examples being the Flag Inn Balmoral, the Comfort Inn Commodore Regent, Penny Royal Motel, Ashton Gate and Launceston City Backpackers.
