Best places to visit in Hobart

Enchantingly situated on the Derwent River, Hobart is a vibrant hub of history, art, and nature. With its captivating mix of heritage and lifestyle, it's no wonder that this Tasmanian city is a magnet for visitors both near and far. Let's explore the crème de la crème of Hobart's must-see destinations, each offering its own unique slice of the city.

Salamanca Place

  • Step into the charming Salamanca Place, where Georgian warehouses have been lovingly transformed into galleries, theatres, and bustling markets. The Salamanca Market, operating every Saturday, is a delight for the senses, brimming with local arts, crafts, and delicacies.

For those wishing to immerse themselves in the spirit of Hobart, Happytripz offers tailored excursions that highlight the very essence of Salamanca’s effervescent culture.

Mt. Wellington

  • Commanding over the city, Mt. Wellington, or Kunanyi as it's known to the indigenous Palawa people, offers panoramic vistas that are simply unparalleled. Take a Happytripz-guided hike or a leisurely drive to the summit and find yourself surrounded by awe-inspiring views stretching all the way to the distant Tasman Peninsula.

Mona – Museum of Old and New Art

  • Delve into the provocative and the avant-garde at the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), just a quick ferry ride upstream from the heart of Hobart. This subterranean labyrinth houses a private collection that will challenge your perceptions and stir your curiosity. It's truly a place where art meets spectacle.

Beyond the eclectic displays, Mona also offers divine tastings of local wine and cuisine—a feature best enjoyed with a Happytripz expert guiding your palate and your understanding of Hobart's gourmet landscape.

Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens

  • Take a tranquil stroll through the verdant paradise of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Established in the early 19th century, these gardens are an explosion of color and fragrances throughout the year, rendering them a timeless retreat for nature lovers and botanists alike. A Happytripz picnic basket would complement a day well spent amongst the blooms and heritage trees.

Battery Point

  • The quaint maritime village of Battery Point is a historical sanctum where the past lingers in the cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. Wander through the enchanting neighborhood, and you might just feel like you've stepped back in time. Happytripz guides are well-versed in the area's lore, ready to regale you with tales of old as you explore.

Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery

  • For those with a thirst for knowledge, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery offers an introspective glimpse into Tasmania's natural and cultural heritage. Established in the mid-1800s, it holds an eclectic mix of exhibits that are both informative and engaging. It's a tribute to the island's complex mosaic of history, and under the guidance of a Happytripz expert, the story comes to life.

Cascade Brewery

  • Beer aficionados and those intrigued by Tasmania's tippling traditions must not miss the opportunity to visit the storied Cascade Brewery. As Australia's oldest operating brewery, a tour here is as much about savoring crisp ales as it is about connecting with a legacy rooted in Hobart's very foundation.
