　　James Boag’s beer has been brewed on William St since 1881. See the amber alchemy in action on 90-minute guided tours, which include a beer and cheese tasting. Alternatively, order a beer paddle ($12) and take your drink upstairs to the free on-site museum, which is a toast to brewing history, from the Boag family story to the brewery’s Helmut Newton ad campaigns.

Must-see attractions

　　At magnificent Cataract Gorge, right at the city centre's edge, the bushland, cliffs and ice-cold South Esk River feel a million miles from town.

Queen Victoria Museum

　　Inside the restored and reinvented Inveresk railway yards, QVMAG has the usual assembly of dinosaurs and stuffed animals, but they sit alongside historic treasures such as bushranger Martin Cash’s revolver, the tortoise-shell workbasket of Lady Jane Franklin, and a section devoted to the Tasmanian tiger. Kids will love the interactive...

Prince's Square

　　Launceston had trams until 1952, when the rails were ripped up and the carriages sold off. Now you can visit this volunteer-staffed museum to take a ride on the lustrously restored No 29, on a little track that runs out past Aurora Stadium. The stories of what happened to all...

Queen Victoria Art Gallery

　　Colonial paintings, including works by John Glover, are the pride of the collection at this art gallery in a meticulously restored 19th-century building on the edge of Royal Park. Be sure to check out the ground-level First Tasmanians Gallery, featuring stone tools, Indigenous history, a basket weaved by the famous...

　　A relatively short drive south of the city, Franklin House is one of Launceston’s most fetching Georgian-era homes. Built in 1838 by former convict and savvy businessman Britton Jones, it was extended in 1848 by schoolteacher William Keeler Hawkes, who ran it as a boys' school until 1866. Later, it...
