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 Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Pooseum. When in Hobart, make a side trip to see Port Arthur Historic Site in Port Arthur, approximately 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: take in the awesome beauty at Mount Wellington, see the interesting displays at Museum of Old and New Art, take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, and take in the waterfront at Constitution Dock.
