10 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.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Hobart: Port Arthur (Safety Cove Beach, Port Arthur Historic Site, &more), Raptor Refuge (in Kettering) and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (in Brighton). On the 30th (Fri), give your taste buds a day to remember with a local gastronomic tour. And it doesn't end there: admire the natural beauty at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, take in the awesome beauty at Mount Wellington, steep yourself in history at Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, and go for a walk through Battery Point Sculpture Trail.

To find where to stay, other places to visit, and tourist information, refer to the Hobart trip planner.

In December, plan for daily highs up to 24°C, and evening lows to 13°C.
