Hobart is Australia’s southernmost city, oozing charm and elegance with its old colonial architecture. This city is situated between the dazzling Derwent estuary, boasting the beautiful bustling harbor and Mt Wellington towering over the city as a stunning mountain backdrop. Take in the treats that Hobart has to offer; from southern Tasmania’s superb wineries and magnificent restaurants to hitting the city centre and shopping till you drop.

Hobart is a peaceful city, with a thriving festival scene and magnificent markets. See the world famous Salamanca Market, cruise the rippling river, try the best seafood you have ever tasted and experience the best panoramic views you could imagine from the summit of Mt Wellington. You can feel a great sense of history seeping through into the atmosphere. It is an ideal base to explore the stunning surrounding countryside.

When to visit:

The hustle and bustle of the docks is truly exhilarating, especially in December to January with the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the Hobart Summer Festival. Temperatures on average are in the very pleasant mid 20oC’s during the summer months with relatively chilly winters, although to be fair Hobart’s climate is generally mild with fine weather all year round.
