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), The Neck (in Bruny Island) and Raptor Refuge (in Kettering). On the 30th (Fri), give your taste buds a day to remember with a local gastronomic tour. Next up on the itinerary: identify plant and animal life at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, admire the natural beauty at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, contemplate the long history of Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, and indulge your thirst for a good beer at Cascade Brewery.

In December in Hobart, expect temperatures between 24°C during the day and 13°C at night.
