Parliament House Gardens is a public green space beside Tasmania’s Parliament House, close to Salamanca Place and the waterfront in Hobart. Stop here for a quiet sit among old oak trees, lawns, benches, fountains and statues, with views towards the harbour and Sullivan’s Cove boat docks. It works well as a pause after browsing Salamanca Market: bring something to eat from the stalls and find a seat in the gardens. The open grass also gives children room to play.
