Things to Know

Combining heritage charm with modern luxuries, Hobart, nestled at the foothills of Kunyanyi/Mount Wellington, truly is one of Australia’s most beautiful cities. Tasmania’s capital, and the second-oldest capital in Australia after Sydney, offers a unique combination of vibrant cosmopolitan experiences and a plentiful supply of outdoor attractions.

Hobart has an eclectic mix of accommodation options, with many of them emphasising one of Hobart’s best qualities: art. 


Getting Around

Hobart is small and ideal for walking, particularly in the downtown and historic areas. For a bit more pace, Beam and Neuron e-scooters are available in and around the CBD, or Metro Tasmania runs buses within Greater Hobart and the surrounding suburbs.


Don’t Miss

With so much to see and do, you’ll want to stay for weeks in this picturesque city (even in the summer months). 

With its commitment to produce-driven dining, weekly markets and food experiences, you can expect a long and varied list of top places to eat in Hobart. Coffee fiends won’t be disappointed. Hobart is a mecca when it comes to cafes. And our second-favourite beverage is in high supply at one of the many Hobart bars and boundary-pushing distilleries scattered throughout the city. And of course, Dark Mofo is a must with its dark and decadent atmosphere.
