Things to do in Hobart

The whole property is very well maintained and we did a self guided tour, enjoyed the cruise, and extensive walks through the grounds and numerous buildings are allowed to be entered in to.

Close interaction with the wild animals. We saw Tasman devis and fed birds and kangaroos. Just not many places to dine and rest nearby.

🏔️ Mount Wellington: Hobart’s Majestic LookoutMount Wellington, known locally as kunanyi, towers above Hobart and offers one of Tasmania’s most breathtaking viewpoints. Rising to 1,271 meters, it provides sweeping panoramic views of the city, the Derwent River, and the surrounding wilderness. The changing weather adds drama, with mist, snow, or sunshine often appearing within hours. Well-marked trails, rugged rock formations, and native wildlife make it ideal for hiking and nature exploration. Easily accessible by road or trail, Mount Wellington is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience Tasmania’s raw beauty and ever-changing alpine atmosphere.

Salamanca Market is a fantastic place to visit for a glance of the Hobart’s living with their local produces, daily food. A bonus of fine dining and souvenirs to take home.

It is a place where you can have close contact with kangaroos, Tasmanian Devils, wombat and other birds, etc. if you’re looking for a sanctuary to see the special wildlife of Tasmania, this is definitely a choice. The specialist will share with you the characteristics of wombats and Tasmania devils in those guided tours. Instead of visiting specific sanctuary, I think this Sanctuary is value for money if you have limited time. This is highly recommended for families and those interested in feeding kangaroos.

The Contemporary Art Island is worth a day trip. It was founded by a famous Australian tycoon. It takes 30 minutes to reach the Art Island by taking a dedicated ferry from the main island of Hobart. In addition to appreciating art works, there are also tennis courts, cots, and a variety of rich dining and entertainment.

A very nice suburb to walk around and learn about the history of Hobart. Walking at Battery Point is like go back in time, wide collection of gorgeous historic architect, beutiful garden and lovely view of the pier at the heart of Hobart. Highly recommend to visit Battery Point while visiting Hobart!

Held on the streets surrounding Salamanca Place, this lovely, sprawling Saturday market is a reason to be in Hobart on the weekend. With more than 300 stalls selling local products from produce to clothing, combine a stroll thru the markets with brunch at one of the nearby cafes for an ideal morning in the city.
