About Hobart
Explore Tasmania
Overview
Hobart boasts an enviable farm-to-table food and wine scene and is surrounded by scenic wilderness and water, including the world’s second-deepest natural port. Some of the city’s top attractions include Mount Wellington, which has a scenic overlook offering awe-inspiring views of the city; Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), which also houses restaurants and bars; Battery Point, widely considered the best-preserved colonial-era suburb in Australia; and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, the country’s premier cool-climate garden.
When to Go
The best time to visit Hobart is spring and autumn when the weather is mild and pleasant and the crowds fewer. Keep in mind that Australia is in the Southern Hemisphere, so spring is September to November and autumn is March to May.
