Constitution Dock & Hobart Waterfront
Constitution Dock
Hobart's waterfront heart, where floating fish stalls converted from fishing boats fry up fish and chips and sell oysters. It is also the finish line of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and a home port for Antarctic research ships.
Constitution Dock, together with Victoria Dock and Franklin Wharf, forms Hobart's most lively waterfront. Floating fish stalls moored on the water, such as Flippers, fry fresh fish to order, and the long-celebrated Mures seafood restaurant is a local institution. The Sydney to Hobart yacht race, which starts on 26 December each year, finishes here, and the Taste of Tasmania food festival is held at the same time at year's end. Ferries to MONA depart from Brooke Street Pier, and Salamanca Place is a few minutes' walk away.
