4 days in Hobart Itinerary

Snaking up the side of a rounded, tree-dotted hill, Hobart sits between Tasmania’s sprawling mountains and the vast estuary of the River Derwent.

Kids will appreciate attractions like Port Arthur Historic Site and Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. When in Hobart, make a side trip to see Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Brighton, approximately Brighton away. Next up on the itinerary: explore the world behind art at Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), take an in-depth tour of Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, get curious at Pooseum, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Wellington.

For photos, maps, and more tourist information, read our Hobart online travel planner.

Expect a daytime high around 20°C in October, and nighttime lows around 9°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 10th (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
