History and architecture buffs will find plenty of things to do in Tasmania's second largest town. Beautifully restored colonial buildings, manicured public squares, and well-tended parks infuse an air of English charm in the center of Launceston, and you can explore the town's fascinating history on a heritage trail.
Nature is another big draw. A mere 15-minute stroll along the river from the town center lies beautiful Cataract Gorge, with its cascades, hiking trails, and gardens, and you'll find plenty of Launceston adventures in the surrounding wilderness, from ziplining and ropes courses to mountain biking. Launceston is also a hot spot for foodies, thanks to the bounty of high-quality produce from the nearby Tamar Valley. Read the full travel article here.
