Hobart, Australia’s Capital of Charm
Tasmania’s capital is a port city with a rich history that in recent years has been experiencing a tourism boom, due to somewhat of a renaissance in its food and arts scene. It seems like word has gotten out about Hobart and people are flocking in to see what all the fuss is about.
Hobart has bags of charm and the city’s gorgeous waterfront is abuzz with the sound of old and new signing together in harmony. With quaint pubs, microbreweries, modern cafes and restaurants all living side by side, Hobart exudes an inimitable charm unlike any other Australian city.
For visitors, the Museum of Old and New Art, known as MONA, is a must-do. It’s one of the world’s best galleries and it is partly responsible for transforming the fortunes of Tasmania’s capital.
If you’re planning on visiting in the depths of winter, make sure to be there for Dark MOFO, MONA’s winter festival that celebrates the winter solstice and the city's past with offbeat performances, feasts, bonfires, art installations and plenty of Tassie’s famous food and wine.
Venture outside of the Hobart CBD is a hire car from Hertz
Overlooking Hobart is the imposing Kunanyi/Mt Wellington, which is a must-do for any visitor to the city. The mountain is perfect for bushwalking and mountain biking. The good news is that you can also drive to the summit, where you’ll be greeted with cool, crisp mountain air and a view of Hobart and the embracing ocean that frames the city.
After descending from the mountain, head for Cascade Brewery, an iconic building and home to Australia’s longest continually operating brewery. After a refreshing beer, set out to explore Hobart’s thriving culinary scene where you can taste the best of Tasmania’s fresh produce.
Hobart has it all and can be explored in a few days with a rental car.

A Quick Guide to Hobart
The capital of the Apple Isle, Hobart’s mild climate, friendly atmosphere and focus on great food and amazing cultural opportunities see it becoming a tourist destination that rapidly increases in popularity every year. Come find out what all the fuss is about when you explore beautiful Hobart for yourself.
Port Arthur History
The old convict settlement at Port Arthur has a rich history and lots to explore. Spend a day there, or stay into the evening and test your courage with a lamplight ghost tour; be regaled with tales of convicts, settlers, bushrangers and a rogue’s gallery of wild stories from our colonial past. Enjoy a cruise around the “Isle of the Dead” for a spectacular view of the Historical preserve, and spare a thought for those who were imprisoned here in times past.
Wildlife at night
Outside the city centre you will find the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the worlds most unique zoos. Because the famous “Tassie Devil” and other native animals are largely nocturnal, the sanctuary allows visitors to come and spend the night, seeing these creatures at the time when they are naturally the most active. With many of the animal residents at the sanctuary being released back into the wild after rescue and rehabilitation, you will find this a fascinating place to visit and an amazing way to learn more about these very special creatures.
An Island off the Island
Tasmania might be Australia’s most famous Island, but it too is surrounded by a wide range of smaller outcrops to explore. One of the most beautiful is Tasman Island, where you can be delighted by the stunning scenery of the peninsula coastline as you make your way to this beautiful place. With soaring cliffs and deep-sea caves, the natural beauty on show will amaze you. There’s also the opportunity to see seals, whales, dolphins and all manner of sea birds as you explore this beautiful region.
Salamanca Saturdays
Every Saturday, historic Salamanca Place plays host to one of the most vibrant arts and crafts markets to be found anywhere. Whether it’s the works of local artisans or gourmet treats that tickle your fancy, you will be able to take your pick of the very best that Tasmania and beyond has to offer here. With live music, ample room to relax and an everchanging variety of stallholders, Salamanca Market is simply unforgettable. There’s a strong focus on individual artisans showcasing their skills here, and many hold demonstrations at their stall – be amazed at glassblowers, weavers, leatherworking and more as you wander around, stopping regularly for delicious food and beverage breaks as you go. It’s the perfect place to pick up an unforgettable souvenir of your visit.
Mount Wellington Majesty
Drive your Hertz hire care right up to the top of Mount Wellington and enjoy a spectacular meal with even more breathtaking views of the whole of Hobart. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal and plan your next adventure. There are horseback adventures to be had on the trails to explore, for a truly unique way to cover more ground and get to the national park’s more inaccessible beauties. With ancient rainforests, old growth forests and creeks and waterfalls you will be astounded by the natural beauty of this area.
