To Do and See in and around Hobart
Hobart, Tasmania’s harbourside capital city, is set on the shores of the River Derwent, with Mt Wellington as a backdrop.
Hobart is a city of sails and sandstone, festivals and flavours – colourful spinnakers on the harbour, fine old 19th century warehouses along Salamanca Place, the fun and music of the waterfront Summer Festival and excellent restaurants highlighting Tasmania’s fine fresh produce.
From Hobart, it’s an easy day tour to the wineries of the Southern Wine Route, to tall forests and national parks or to the nation’s most significant historic site, Port Arthur.
