Hobart is a wonderful mix of young and old, historic and super modern. But most of all, Hobart is about resplendent nature. The outstanding wilderness is just out of this beautiful centre’s boundaries, and within a mere hour of driving out of the city (with your Hobart rental car, of course) you could be hiking, mountain biking or simply soaking up the awe-inspiring views. Fantastic food, beers, and wine, as well as a wicked nightlife and art scene, make Hobart quite the fabulous all-rounder.
Plan your Tasmanian adventure with our expert tips, and get ready to be captivated by every scenic vista and hidden gem along the way.
