Hobart in Tasmania is the second
oldest capital city in
Australia. Hobart dates from
1804, it is exceeded
in antiquity only by
Sydney. As a result,
Hobart has a degree of history which one might not have
expected prior to arrival,
and a number of fine
older buildings. Moreover,
Hobart is a city set in a beautiful
natural setting and of
a very manageable size. The Derwent River is at the heart of Hobart 's heart and Mount Wellington rises above in spectacular glory.

Hobart
Hobart is a place of yachts, fishing boats and cafés by the sea and sipping cappuccinos after visiting the Salamanca Market on a Saturday afternoon. Hobart is a place that sends you back in time. But it mixes the old with the new well with its mix of fine food and dining, wonderful galleries and quirky little stores selling the goods of the local artists.
There is a lot to do within a 90 minute radius of Hobart. Visit Richmond, south east of Hobart then wander down to the Tasman Peninsula and the Port Arthur historic site. Walk along the cliffs at Port Arthur, or take a cruise that brings in you to within metres of cliffs that rise more than 300 metres out of the sea at Bruny Island. Bruny Island is truly a place of surprises with only 500 permanent residents among the gentle rolling country side that meets a wild and rugged coastline. Take a drive to the top of Mount Wellington for an incredible view of the complex system of islands and estuaries in the sea below. Have a look at the many Hobart tours that we have.
There are many diverse places to stay – hotels with views of the coast, quaint accommodation in an old sandstone cottage, or spa resorts in the mountains. Wherever you stay, be sure to enjoy the delights of old Hobart town.
