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 Mount Wellington. Get out of town with these interesting Hobart side-trips: Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (in Brighton) and Port Arthur Historic Site (in Port Arthur). Next up on the itinerary: take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, contemplate the long history of Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, tour the pleasant surroundings at Kingston Beach, and engage your brain at Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery.

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.
