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 Food Tours and Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. Get out of town with these interesting Hobart side-trips: Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (in Brighton) and Port Arthur Historic Site (in Port Arthur). The adventure continues: admire the natural beauty at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, steep yourself in history at Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, look for gifts at The Sensory Tasmania, and get to know the fascinating history of Battery Point Sculpture Trail.

In October, daily temperatures in Hobart can reach 20°C, while at night they dip to 9°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 10th (Thu) early enough to travel back home.
