Hobart is the best destination to immerse yourself in Tasmanian culture, offering a mosaic of modern art, charming markets, enchanting landmarks, and a skyline shaped by Mount Wellington.
You will find the heart of Hobart right at the waterfront. This area is populated with fine dining establishments, bars, art galleries, and a weekly market. Walk along the water and watch the fishing boats bob in the water. If you start feeling peckish, enjoy a local classic: fresh fish and chips.
One of Hobart’s main attractions is MONA: The Museum of Old and New. Study the art and antique in David Walsh’s $100 million-dollar collection. After appreciating some art, head over to Moorilla winery and dine at one of the on-site eateries. Every summer, the museum hosts MONA FOMA, a music and arts festival. However, if you plan to sail to Tasmania in June, you can attend Dark Mofo, MONA’s winter festival that celebrates winter solstice rituals from centuries past.
Home to several cosy yet eclectic bars, Hobart is also full of distilleries and wineries. Head to Lark Distillery to get informed about the thriving whiskey industry in Hobart. Shambles Brewery is the place to indulge in tasty craft beers. Hobart takes the simple idea of just sharing a drink with that special someone and elevates it to something even more. Enjoy your drinks sitting on the beautiful waterfront at sunset or go on a guided vineyard tour.
As one of the most popular spots in the city for recreation and relaxation, both locals and tourists fall in love with the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Stunning architecture and fantastic art and entertainment venues can also be found in Hobart. The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and other world-famous events that are hosted on and around Tasmania draw in crowds of tourists every year.
