Really beautiful waterfront & Salamanca Market!
Con
Amazingly cold in comparison to the Mainland!
In a nutshell
Hobart is a lovely little town and a great choice for anyone looking to stay in Tasmania.
24 Reviews From the top of Mt Wellington, on a clear day, you are rewarded with spectular views. You can see over to the Tasman Penninsula and also to the Southern Wilderness Area. Mt Wellington is 1270 metres (4000 feet) high. It is about 21 km drive from Hobart CBD on good roads, taking you through temperate...
22 Reviews While best known for its Saturday Markets, Salamanca Place is a great place to visit on any other day of the week. Spend time visiting the shops and galleries or enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants - or just wander up the street taking in the elgance of the historical buildings. The...
Breweries and Confection visits.
15 Reviews The Cascade Brewery is Australia's oldest continuously operating brewery. It was founded in 1824 in the foothills of Mt Wellingotn - the site was chosen for its pure mountain water. In 1987 the brewery chose for its logo, a picture of the extinct Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine). There is a preserved...
Parks / Gardens / National parks.
19 Reviews Arthur Circus, located in beautiful Battery Point, is a circular street filled with historical cottages that once housed the officers of the nearby Battery Point garrison. Battery Point was established in 1818 and Arthur Circus was developed in 1837. The cottages are in a wonderful condition,...
Forestier, Tasman Peninsula / Port Arthur.
22 Reviews To do Port Arthur justice you need to spend at least two nights there. It is not feasible as a trip from Hobart. Please follow the link to my Port Arthur page. http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/154dbc/1c8c95/
5 Reviews Richmond was named as a town by Lieutenant Governor Sorell in 1824. It was an important convict settlement and played a role as a military outpost in the growing colony of Tasmania. It was then the main gateway to the east coast and the Tasman Peninsula and is still a popular stop when travelling to...
6 Reviews Possible the best museum and art gallery in Australia! The largest private collection of art and artefacts in the Southern Hemisphere. And it is located in a vineyard only a few miles from Hobart CBD - BLISS. Art, Artifacts, vineyard, restaurant, cafe, wine tasting, beer tasting, bar You can take a...
8 Reviews Sandy Bay is a happening suburb. It's always busy and, with a large marina, yacht clubs, university and casino all within a figurative stone's throw of each other, it's no wonder. Shown in this pick is the Wrest Point Casino (Australia's first) framed by masts from yachts moored just near the...

1 Review and 75 Opinions An old style hotel with a great hostess in the form of Tildy, who is extremely helpful and at all...
9 Reviews This Place was highly recommended -made a reservation and it the was MOST DISAPPOINTING part of my whole stay in Tasmania --Food was of the poorest quality serving size was small -Fries were greasy and the shrimp and scallop combo meal served on the UPPER DECK where the food is supposed to be alot...
3 Reviews Wrest Point was the very first legal casino in Australia and held the only casino licence for many years. Now there are many all over Australia but no visit to Hobart would be complete without a gamble at this, slightly tired, Hobart landmark. Its about the only place thats open 24 hours a day. No...
12 Reviews Metro Tasmania has an extensive net of public transportation. You won't need if if you just stay in the centre, but some of the outer suburbs are also great for visiting. Fare are fair, if you're planning to take the bus after 9am from Monday to Friday or on Saturday and Sunday you'll pay just 2,60...
5 Reviews If you're looking to book some guided tours in and around Hobart (including to other parts of Tasmania), you can walk over to the piers and there are at least two tour companies operating from there. They have boat tours and bus tours. If you're one to prefer those types of tours, this is the place...
2 Reviews There are not many dangers in Hobart, it is a nice quiet city, the danger gets when you get out of the city, with snakes (deadly) , big waves (deadly), sharks (deadly), but I did survive them all, so it ain't bad at all, just watch out for them and don't be stupid.
4 Reviews Hobart is a tourist friendly city, your trolley bags, backpacks or whatever else you plan to bring will be fine. As a resident of Hobart all my life I can safely say you need to pack for all conditions and that is not a try to be prepared IN CASE of any weather changes, in Tassie you WILL see four...

8 Reviews A great trip out of town is to visit Seven Mile Beach. If you're brave enough you can go for a swim is the cold water, if you like walking -there's a trail to Lauderdale (about 10km) from where you can take the bus back to Hobart. Buses: Routes 191 192 291 292 293 X13 X14 X15 X16
20 Reviews I'm not sure what did it to be honest. But I left Hobart wanting to see so much more of the little town. In someways it reminded me of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in others, a small Danish coastal village. It had many charms and that intself was my favorite thing about Hobart. It was a great little town...
Port Arthur /Historic Architecture.
11 Reviews North of Hobart there is a series of villages, all of them historic. They include the famous Ross and Campbell Town amongst others but you'll notice smaller ones just off the highway that are also worth a visit. Jericho, for instance, has the grave of the first Australian born Victoria Cross...
11 Reviews Waterfalls are often a popular destination for tourists and Tassie has its share of good ones. Not all that far away (about an hour) are the most popular of all, Russell. They are located in Mount Field National Park and it will cost your carload $22 to walk five minutes up the trail to view...
11 Reviews There was music everywhere. There was an absolute gem of an open boat being rowed around with a lady playing piano down the back and a bearded man on accordion amidships (pic 5). Every time they finished a tune applause rang out from all parts of the docks. Then there were the dancing girls in their...
