Tasmania city guide
Hobart travel guide
A focused Hobart guide for visitors planning MONA, Salamanca, Mount Wellington, Port Arthur, and Bruny Island.
Hobart is small, scenic, and unusually rich for its size. Most visitors come for MONA and Salamanca, then realise the mountain, waterfront, food scene, and day trips can easily fill several days.
Best things to do in Hobart
- Salamanca Market
- MONA by ferry
- Mount Wellington summit
- Battery Point walk
- Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
- Port Arthur day trip
- Bruny Island day trip
How many days?
Three nights covers Hobart, MONA, and Mount Wellington. Five to seven nights lets you add Port Arthur, Bruny Island, and a slower food or coast day.
Where to stay
Salamanca and Battery Point are best for atmosphere. The CBD is practical. North Hobart suits travellers who care more about restaurants and a local feel.
