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 Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Get out of town with these interesting Hobart side-trips: Port Arthur Historic Site (in Port Arthur) and Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (in Brighton). Next up on the itinerary: engage your brain at Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, make a trip to Cascades Female Factory Historic Site, see the interesting displays at Museum of Old and New Art (Mona), and get to know the fascinating history of Battery Point Sculpture Trail.
