Tasmania’s capital sits beneath kunanyi / Mount Wellington on the River Derwent. Georgian streets and working waterfronts now sit alongside one of Australia’s most interesting contemporary food and arts scenes.
Experiencing Hobart
Visit Salamanca and the waterfront, allow time for MONA, explore local produce and restaurants, then head onto the mountain or south towards the Huon Valley and Tasman Peninsula.
Planning your stay
Hobart deserves several nights and is an ideal beginning or end to a Tasmanian road journey through Freycinet, Cradle Mountain or the island’s wilder south-west.
