Why visit Hobart?

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania, Australia's island state, on the estuary of the Derwent River beneath kunanyi / Mount Wellington. Founded in 1804, it is Australia's second-oldest capital city, with sandstone warehouses, a working harbour and a thriving food and art scene.

Salamanca Place has Georgian sandstone warehouses now holding galleries, cafes and shops, and the Salamanca Market fills the square every Saturday. Battery Point next door has some of the city's oldest cottages. Take a ferry up the river to MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, known for its provocative collection, and drive to the summit of kunanyi / Mount Wellington for views over the city. Day trips reach the Port Arthur Historic Site, a former convict settlement and World Heritage Site, Bruny Island for food and wildlife, and the Tasman Peninsula's sea cliffs. Try fresh oysters, Tasmanian salmon, cheese and cool-climate wines.
