If you want to add a few day trips into your itinerary, you can pick up your rental from Launceston Airport (LST) and drive out to Tamar Valley and the Bay of Fires.
Winter

You can also plan your trip around the 12-night festival, Dark Mofo. It's the city's annual art and music festival and the companion to the summer Mona Foma festival.
Spring
From September to November, temperatures in Launceston start to slowly warm-up. One thing to keep in mind is that spring is when Tasmania receives most of its rain. Plan an itinerary which will see you exploring indoor attractions like the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery in case the rain postpones any outdoor activities.
What is the best way to get around Launceston?
Public transport

What should I pack for Launceston?
Buying return flights to Launceston for summer travel? You'll still need to pack warm layers as the weather in Tasmania can be temperamental. Pack a jacket that can be kept in the car in case the temperature drops, but also don’t forget to bring along your swimsuit! In the winter and autumn months, you should pack for cold and wet weather. Wear your warmest coat with you on your flights to Launceston to save luggage space, and also consider bringing waterproof shoes and layers if you’re hoping to experience any of the walks, hikes or outdoors around the city.
