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 Port Arthur Historic Site. When in Hobart, make a side trip to see Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary in Brighton, approximately Brighton away. Next up on the itinerary: take in nature's colorful creations at Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Wellington, go for a walk through Battery Point Sculpture Trail, and admire the masterpieces at Museum of Old and New Art (Mona).

For photos, maps, and more tourist information, read our Hobart online travel planner.

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.
