Hobart

Hobart offers a contrasting blend of heritage, scenery and culture, with world-class activities and attractions nearby. Nestled amongst the foothills of Kunanyi, Mt Wellington, Hobart combines heritage charm with a modern lifestyle in a setting of exceptional beauty.
Hobart is Tasmania's capital city and the second oldest capital in Australia, after Sydney. Located at the entrance to the Derwent River, its well-preserved surrounding bushland reaches close to the city centre and beaches line the shores of the river and estuary beyond. With captivating history, picturesque waterways, rugged mountains and gourmet experiences.
Explore Salamanca Place, a short walk from the waterfront, with its galleries, theatres, craft shops and restaurants in 1830s Georgian warehouses and on Saturdays enjoy the food and entertainment of Salamanca Market, Australia's best outdoor market.
Take a walk along Hobart's iconic waterfront, explore the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery or take a ferry up river to MONA for an out-of-this-world modern art experience.
Hobart is also close to many of southern Tasmania's best travel experiences, from historic Port Arthur and the rugged Tasman Peninsula to Bruny Island, the Huon and Derwent Valleys and Mount Field National Park.

Your accommodation: Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart

Conveniently located amongst all the action, this family-friendly hotel allows you to sit back and enjoy both harbour and mountain views from one of the best places to stay in Hobart. The Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart is also just a short walk away from popular attractions such as Salamanca Place and The Markets, Battery Point, the MONA Ferry and the CBD.

Experience the best of Bruny Island on the Bruny Island Traveller Full Day Tour with Pennicott Journeys, a day filled with exquisite tastes, breathtaking views, and unique wildlife encounters. Your adventure begins with an early morning departure from Hobart, setting the stage for a day of exploration as you cross the tranquil waters on the SeaLink Bruny Island Ferry. Upon arrival, your taste buds will be treated to an exclusive tasting at the renowned Bruny Island Cheese & Beer Co., where locally crafted delights are paired perfectly with the island’s rustic charm. From there, take in the sweeping panoramic views from The Neck lookout, a place where the island’s beauty truly unfolds before your eyes. Wander through the serene Mavista rainforest, where the possibility of spotting a rare white wallaby adds a touch of magic to your walk. As midday approaches, indulge in a gourmet lunch at Pennicott’s, featuring the freshest local oysters, a delicious main course, and perfectly paired beverages, all served in a relaxed setting that captures the essence of Bruny Island’s laid-back lifestyle.
The afternoon is a blend of history, nature, and indulgence. Visit the Bligh Museum to uncover stories of exploration, take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque Two Tree Point beach, and delight in the sweet offerings of the Bruny Island Chocolate Company and HIBA Gardens. As the day winds down, a stop at Bruny Island Honey provides the perfect end note, with honey ice cream and a variety of local honey to sample and take home. Before you depart, there’s time for a quick visit to Get Shucked Oysters to pick up some of the island’s freshest oysters to enjoy later. Your journey back to Hobart on the ferry allows for reflection on a day filled with unforgettable experiences, returning you to the city between 5:30pm and 6:00pm with a heart full of Bruny Island’s wonders.

Taste of Tasmania Tour - Day 3
Hobart Historic Walking tour

Discover Hobart by foot and hear the fascinating stories of how Tasmania’s capital city was established and how it grew to become the vibrant waterfront city it is today. A local Tasmanian guide will identify the heritage-listed buildings of Hobart while walking the old town. Hear the stories of the hardened characters and issues that were major influences in the early days of Hobart.

SUGGESTED ACTIVITY - Mona Museum of Old and New Art

Mona, the Museum of Old and New Art, is Australia’s largest privately-owned gallery and museum. Showcasing the diverse collection of its owner, Tasmanian gambler and maths nerd David Walsh, Mona exhibits everything from ancient Egyptian funerary objects and modernist masterpieces to a word waterfall and a machine that mimics the human digestive system. The Mona site—perched on the banks of the River Derwent, not far from Hobart—is also home to the Moorilla Winery, The Source restaurant, a bunch of other bars and restaurants, luxury accommodation pavilions, and
Tasmania’s biggest craft brewery (Moo Brew). The best way to visit is to jump on a Mona Roma fast ferry from Hobart’s city centre—just look for a giant camouflaged catamaran with fibreglass animals for seats.
