    1. Take in the Views from Mount Wellington

    Easy Mountain Bike Tour on Mt. Wellington

    Okay, let’s start off with one of the unmissable things to do in Hobart!

    If you ask me, the iconic Mount Wellington is best explored on a bike- and the good news is that the mountain is crisscrossed with plenty of picturesque cycling tracks.

    This guided expedition takes you across Pipeline Track, Mount Wellington’s main trail which is especially known for its delightful views. Participants will be fitted for a helmet and mountain bike and yes, the activity is beginner-friendly – so don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of mountain biking experience!

    In fact, it’s mostly downhill cycling since a shuttle will take you to the summit of the mountain so you can feast your eyes on the incredible views. Afterward, you’ll enjoy a gentle descent down the 11km trail that’ll take you through the forest and the lower foothills.

    2. Enjoy a Seafood Feast on the Piers

    Elizabeth Street Pier Hobart

    I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that fresh seafood is an absolute delicacy in Hobart! After all, the city offers access to some of the most bountiful waters in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

    In my opinion, the absolute best place to savor a seafood meal is right on one of Hobart’s piers. My personal favorite is the Elizabeth Street Pier which dates all the way back to the early ’30s. A significant cultural and historic landmark, this pier is fringed by a variety of restaurants overlooking the marina.

    For something nostalgic, you can always check out Fish Frenzy which serves up grilled seafood plates or French fries served in a cone- perfect for enjoying outside while watching the sunset!  

    • Entrance fee: Dependent on the meal  
    • Hours: 11 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
    • Address: Sullivans Cove, Elizabeth Street Pier, Hobart TAS 7000, Australia

    Enjoy a hefty dose of Tasmanian history with a stay in this former Gatekeeper’s Lodge!

    Now, just because this place is laden with interesting facts and history doesn’t mean that you’ll need to sacrifice your comfort. Quite on the contrary, the cottage offers luxe touches, including a clawfoot bath and a massive luxe walk-in shower.

    Best of all, you’ll be close to some of the top activities in Hobart, including Lenah Valley and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.

    With three bedrooms for up to five guests, this space also has a spacious and well-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up a quick meal when you don’t feel like eating out.

    This guided activity takes you to the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its rugged landscape. Take a moment to mosey around Marion’s Lookout, a popular viewpoint overlooking Crater Lake, Dove Lake, and Cradle Mountain.

    Just a quick heads-up though: Marion’s Lookout does have an elevation of over 1,200 meters. Be prepared for sudden rainfall or even snow (at any time of year), so it’s a good idea to bring some wet weather gear as well.

    You may also wish to bring a snack for a lakeside picnic after exploring the trails!

    • Entrance fee: $152.48
    • Hours: 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

    5. Discover the Heritage Sites

    Heritage Sites Hobart

    I sure hope you’re ready for some culture because this is exactly what awaits with a Heritage Tour of Hobart!

    Now there are plenty of paid Heritage Tours out there, but if you’re traveling on a budget, you can always download a self-guided walking map from the official city website to help you plan your own walking tour of Hobart.

    As you wander down the streets, keep your eyes peeled for St. David’s Park, Cnr Murray & Macquarie St., and St. Mary’s Hospital, three venues that are deeply rooted in the city’s history. I would also suggest that you make a couple of detours from the map to explore the quaint cafes and pubs speckled across the city.

    6. Chase the Waterfalls

    Myrtle Gully Falls Wellington Hobart

    Hobart may be a capital city but I’m sure that by now, you’ve realized that it easily caters to nature lovers as well! Travelers looking for nature things to do in Hobart will no doubt be glad to learn that the city is surrounded by no less than seven beautiful waterfalls.

    Even though you’ll need a full-day hike to reach it, I would absolutely recommend a visit to the majestic Wellington Falls in Wellington National Park. The alpine hike leading to it can be somewhat challenging to less experienced hikers.

    If you’d rather avoid the crowds, you can always check out the Secret Falls and Strickland Falls, both located right there in the Hobart suburbs.

    • Hours: Open 24 hours  
    • Address: Wellington Park TAS 7054, Australia

    Located just a short distance from Battery Point, the Salamanca Market is something of an institution in the city.

    Anyone who’s ever been there will tell you that one of the best things to do in Hobart on a Saturday morning is to browse through the stalls – and I quite agree with them! Because this market gathers several Tasmanian small business owners, you’ll support the local economy while soaking up that lively Tasmanian vibe! Expect plenty of artisan food, homemade souvenirs, art, and produce straight from the farm.

    After stocking up on produce and souvenirs, I would strongly suggest that you head down to the Salamanca Waterfront in the afternoon to enjoy those legendary Tasmanian sunsets!

    • Address: Salamanca Pl, Hobart TAS 7001, Australia

    9. Cruise to Bruny Island

    Hobart Bruny Island Wilderness Coast Eco Cruise with Lunch

    Time to hop on a boat and leave the noise of the city behind as you embark on a leisurely cruise to Bruny Island!

    It would be unfathomable to leave Hobart without crossing over to Bruny Island and you’ll quickly understand why as you land on the delightfully craggy coastline. Thick rainforests, towering sea cliffs, and plenty of marine wildlife in their natural environment await on this eco-friendly day trip!

    After taking a ferry over to Bruny Island, you’ll even be treated to a freshly baked muffin and either a hot or cold tea before taking a scenic bus ride to Adventure Bay. From there, a custom-built boat will take you to those sea caves that Bruny is famous for.

    We recommend Bruny Island as one of our top day trips from Hobart.

    Budget travelers, rejoice! If you’re looking for the best free things to do in Hobart, you can always head over to The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.

    With free admission, this cool climate garden may not be the largest in Tasmania, but it certainly provides an amazing experience. I would recommend a visit to the onsite Subantarctic Plant House, a specially constructed feature that houses a unique collection of plants from Macquarie Island. These subantarctic plants are kept in a chilly and climatically controlled atmosphere, complete with cold mists and fogs.

    In addition, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens also feature a Japanese Garden with a Lily Pond, cascading falls, and even a quintessential red Japanese bridge.

    • Entrance fee: Free
    • Hours: 8 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
    • Address: Lower Domain Rd, Hobart TAS 7000, Australia

    11. Sample the Local Whiskey

    Tasmanian Whisky Distillery Tour

    Here’s a fun fact for you: Tasmania is known for producing some of the best whiskeys in the world.

    In fact, the island was the very first Australian province to receive the much-coveted Craft Producer of the year at the 2022 World Whisky Awards! Taste-wise, the local whiskey has been even likened to its Scottish counterparts.

    If you’d like to sample some of the best brews in the area, you definitely don’t want to miss out on this distillery tour. You’ll even get to squeeze in a little bit of sightseeing since the vehicle will take you through the Southern Midlands and the Coal Valley on your way to three distilleries.

    Best of all, the activity includes lunch and tasting sessions!  

    • Entrance fee: $200.47
    • Hours: 10 a.m. to 5.30 p.m.
    • Address: Brooke Street Pier, 12 Franklin Whrf, Hobart TAS 7000, Australia

    12. Uncover Hidden Gems at Marina Island

    From Hobart Day Trip to Maria Island with Hotel Pickup

    I know, I know. Another cruise. But hey, Tasmania’s surrounded by heaps of spectacular islands, so it would be a shame not to explore them, right?

    Despite its tragic past, Maria Island National Park is well worth a visit since it aims at paying respect to the Tasmanian Aborigines. Positively bursting with natural beauty, this park is actually one of the best places in Australia where you can learn more about Aboriginal culture.

    There’s literally something for just about everyone there: historians, for instance, will undoubtedly enjoy wandering the ruins before checking out the ancient rock drawings at Fossil Cliffs. Remember to keep your eyes peeled for the island’s resident wombats!

    Oh, and did I mention that lunch, tea, and coffee are provided?

    • Entrance fee: $195.49

In fact, you can even get a behind-the-scenes tour so you can see the chocolate and cheese being made. Just a quick heads-up though: you might just end up with some major cravings afterward!

    For some of the best hikes in Australia, head over to Mt. Field National Park, located just over three hours away. Yes, I know it’s a bit of a drive, but if you’ve got some extra time to spare for the road trip, I promise it’ll be entirely worth it!

    Now, if you don’t feel like driving all the way out there, you can always consider this activity which provides a pickup from Hobart. Not only will you get to walk to the beautiful Russell Falls, but you’ll also climb the stairs up to Horseshoe Falls.

    And don’t worry – this is not another boring ol’ museum either: As the second-oldest museum in Australia, you can expect plenty of interesting facts, colonial, and archaeological relics. Visitors can also take advantage of various family-oriented programs and events.

    In addition to several exhibits centered around the local cultural heritage, the museum also has a Herbarium with preserved plant specimens. I would strongly suggest that you make a stop by the First People Art and Culture section, featuring a global Indigenous collection consisting of over 12,000 pieces.

    16. Take the Kids to the Beach

    Kingston Beach Hobart

    I know that Hobart doesn’t exactly spring to mind when you think of beautiful Australian beaches. After all, Hobart ain’t as popular as, say Bondi, but the truth is the city is surrounded by numerous coastal gems that not a lot of tourists know about.

    For a truly picturesque escapade from the city noises, head over to Opossum Bay, located just 40 minutes outside Hobart. Brimming with rural charm, this sheltered beach is known for its fine, powdery sand and classic fish and chips from the local store.

    I would also recommend that you head over to Coningham, another jaw-droppingly gorgeous beach located less than 30 minutes from the city. Because it’s fringed by bush-covered cliffs, this beach still feels relatively undiscovered.

    • Entrance fee: N/A
    • Hours: Open 24 hours  
    • Address: N/A

    17. Hop Over to Richmond Village

    Hobart Richmond Village Shuttle

    One of the best day trips from Hobart, Richmond Village is an absolute feast for the eyes with stone bridges, quaint cafes, cobbled streets, and plenty of historical sites.

    This activity even offers a bus ride through the Coal River Valley on your way to Richmond. Be ready to feel like you’ve stepped back in time as you mosey about this impossibly charming area, fringed by elegant Georgian buildings. Some of them actually date all the way back to 1820.

    Remember to save your tour ticket for exclusive discounts at numerous Richmond attractions!

    There’s no better way to take advantage of that glorious Tasmanian sun than to head out for a refreshing stroll- and one of my favorite walks in Hobart is undoubtedly the Battery Point Sculpture Trail.

    This hour-long walk is meant to be relaxing, so inexperienced hikers shouldn’t have any issues. It’s also perfectly suitable for children.

    An excellent way of uncovering some lesser-known aspects of Tasmanian history, this walk is fringed by nine large sculptures. Each sculpture tells a specific story about Tasmania and Hobart.

    I would also suggest that you visit the trail both at night and in daylight so you can see the sculptures under different lighting. One of them glows at night, so keep your eyes open for that!

    • Entrance fee: Free
    • Hours: Open 24 hours  
    • Address: Battery Point TAS 7004, Australia

    19. Step into the Parliament House

    Parliament House hobart

    Located just a quick walk from the Salamanca Market, Parliament House draws heaps of tourists and locals alike – and it’s not exactly difficult to see why!

    This 19th-century, Georgian-style building was originally meant to be a customs office, but as Hobart entered a rapidly developing political phase, it was eventually chosen to house both the Parliament and the customs.

    Plenty of lore and legends await as you stroll down those ornate halls. Parliament House tours are only conducted between 9.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. on non-sitting days. Alternatively, you can also visit the Legislative Council or the House of Assembly galleries on sitting days.

    Where to Stay in Hobart

    Owing to its gorgeous sights that draw heaps of travelers from all over, Hobart offers various accommodation options to suit all budgets.

    Here are a few places that I can vouch for!

    Best Hostel in Hobart – Hobart Central YHA

    Hobart Central YHA

    Here’s an affordable, yet comfy option that certainly ticks all the boxes! Not only does this hotel boast a great location near the city center, but it’s located close to some of the best attractions in Hobart, including the Salamanca Markets, the Art Gallery, and the Harbor.

    The hostel features mixed, male, and female dorms as well as private rooms.

    After exploring all those great attractions, return to the hotel where you can relax in spacious rooms, some with mountain, park, or harbor views.

    Some Additional Tips for Visiting Hobart

    Before you zip up your suitcase and grab your passport, be sure to check out a few more handy travel tips below!

    • Drive on the Left. If you’re hiring a vehicle to explore the many glorious sights that lie around Hobart, bear in mind that Australians drive on the left.
    • Respect the Wildlife. Wombats and platypus sightings are quite common in Hobart. Tasmania is also known for its rich population of Kangaroos and wallabies. Remember to observe the wildlife from a safe and respectful distance.
    • Prepare for Summer. Hobart is found on Tasmania’s south-eastern coast which is known for its milder summers. I would still recommend that you pack your sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and loose, comfortable clothing.
    • Take Day Trips. If you’re looking for the best day trips from Hobart, rest assured that the city is surrounded by a ton of incredible sights, including national parks and scenic villages. You can even consider crossing over to Melbourne by ferry.

    Don’t forget your travel insurance for Hobart

    ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing.
