After a renovation campaign by Laurence Olivier, the theatre shot-up in local and international acclaim.

Transportation near Salamanca Place

You can fly in to Hobart International Airport, based 15 kilometres from the city centre. The airport serves mostly domestic services to and from top Australian cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. If flying internationally, catch a connecting flight from any of these to Hobart, Melbourne being the shortest at a 1 hour 15 minute flight. Once here, getting around via rental car is convenient, but the centre can get very busy - particularly on weekends. Alternatively, Hobart has an extensive and affordable public bus system.
