Launceston’s City Park is a historic patch of green in the town’s heart. The landscaped parklands were developed by Launceston’s horticultural society in the 1820s.

Today, the gardens are a tranquil oasis of European and native trees, with a duck pond, monuments, playgrounds and the High Victorian building known as Albert Hall.

Visit the Senses Garden to smell the different perfumes of herbs and flowers, or the moated monkey enclosure to see the garden’s macaques.

Every year in February the park hosts Festivale, Tasmania’s leading food and wine festival. During summer the park also hosts free music performances by local pipe bands and community youth orchestras.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and left the group with an appropriate amour of flexibility. Recommended if you want to truly appreciate this beautiful city.

Except for the rain, it was a very informative tour. The bus driver even dropped us back at our hotel.

Doing what: Launceston City Sightseeing Tour

I really enjoyed Tasmania and the Hobart City Tour, but would not recommend the Launceston city to anyone. The bus was half an hour late, we were the only ones on the bus and felt like pests. The tour didn't go for the time mentioned in the brochure, and we left the tour with no knowledge of Launceston.
