2 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.

Kick off your visit on the 16th (Tue): engage your brain at Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, then identify plant and animal life at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and finally steep yourself in history at Convict Penitentiary Chapel Historic Site. Keep things going the next day: go for a walk through Battery Point Sculpture Trail, contemplate the long history of Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, then take in the awesome beauty at Mount Wellington, then stroll through Bellerive Beach, and finally snap pictures at Richmond Bridge.
