Hobart Attractions And Things To Do

Discover the wild, creative soul of Hobart, Tasmania’s captivating capital nestled beneath the towering dolerite cliffs of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, where Salamanca Place’s Georgian sandstone warehouses host Australia’s largest outdoor market every Saturday with local artisan stalls, fresh produce, and live music, the iconic Battery Point historic district winds through charming 19th-century cottages and secret laneways, and the sparkling Derwent River reflects the city’s skyline and working fishing fleet at Constitution Dock.

Explore the world-class MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) with its provocative underground galleries and subterranean bar, hike or drive to the summit of kunanyi/Mount Wellington for panoramic views over the city, river, and distant Tasman Peninsula, cruise the Derwent to Bruny Island for fresh oysters and cheese, or wander the waterfront MONA ferry terminal and Brooke Street Pier—all in a compact, walkable city that perfectly balances raw Tasmanian wilderness, rich maritime history, and one of Australia’s most innovative food and art scenes.

Savor fresh Tasmanian oysters, Huon Valley salmon, craft gin from local distilleries, and bold Tasmanian Pinot Noir amid warm Tassie hospitality, crisp mountain air, and the unmistakable sense of a place that feels like the edge of the world yet brims with creative energy.

Hobart isn’t just a destination—it’s Tasmania’s gateway to wilderness, art, and authentic island soul—plan your Hobart adventure today!
