Hobart

Where heritage harbours meet bold new art, cuisine, and wilderness.

Overview
Hobart is Tasmania’s capital and cultural heart—a place where colonial history and cutting-edge creativity coexist beneath the shadow of kunanyi / Mount Wellington. With a walkable waterfront, buzzing markets, and an ever-growing food and art scene, Hobart is ideal for slow exploration. World-class produce, whisky, and seafood are served with mountain views and a side of storytelling. It’s a city with character and charisma.

See and Do

The local favourite
Wander the Salamanca Market on Saturdays for local produce, crafts, and lively street performances—set against 19th-century sandstone warehouses.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Take a scenic drive up kunanyi / Mount Wellington for panoramic views over the Derwent River and beyond. Explore alpine trails or simply soak up the crisp air and serenity.

Adventures in nature
Catch a ferry to Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art—for a provocative cultural experience unlike any other. Venture further afield to Bruny Island or the Huon Valley for bushwalks, wildlife, and vineyard tastings all within easy reach.
