Launceston serves as the commercial hub for the north of the state and, like many parts of Tasmania, is a major tourist centre and some popular attractions are:

The Cataract Gorge, a natural wonder of Tasmania and only five minutes walk from the city
The City Park, which includes an enclosure for Japanese Macaque monkeys.
The Tamar Valley, which is home to some of Australia's best vineyards
The Boags Brewery, which produces one of Australia's premium beers.
Launceston is the home of Aurora Stadium (a.k.a. York Park), which is the state's only first-class sports ground equipped with lights for evening games. As a result, two of the Melbourne teams, Hawthorn and St Kilda, have agreed to play a small number of AFL (Australian football) games there each year.

The Launceston General Hospital is one of 3 major public hospitals in the state and Launceston is the hub for the state's medical retrieval service including The Royal Flying Doctor Service and state ambulance service.
