Learn more about hotels in Hobart

Serving as the capital of the Australian island state, Tasmania, Hobart is the southernmost of Australia's cities, situated on the estuary of the River Derwent. It is a city of striking contrasts, from the rugged heights of Mount Wellington dominating the city's skyline, to the beautiful deep-sea harbour, the second-deepest natural port in the world.

Tracing back to 1804, Hobart was once a British penal colony, its land previously occupied by the indigenous Mouheneener people. Throughout its history, the city experienced both growth and declines, driven by whaling, shipping, and industry. These epochs left an indelible mark on the city, from convict-era architecture to the bustling Salamanca Market and the cutting-edge Museum of Old and New Art (MONA).

Today, Hobart, the hub of Tasmania, is a thriving metropolis, boasting a temperate oceanic climate. A pivotal port for Australian and French Antarctic operations, it's home to a vibrant mix of professionals, tradespeople, and service workers. Known as an Antarctic gateway city, it continues to balance the allure of natural wonders, historical insights and modern lifestyle making it a dynamic destination for travellers.

When to visit Hobart

Hobart is a year-round destination, with its coastal location lending it a moderate climate. However, the city truly blossoms during the summer holiday period from late December to mid-January. These months not only promise long, sunny days but also offer a wide range of vibrant events like the Taste Festival and the Syndey to Hobart Yacht Race.

Summer is ideal for exploring the outdoor gems in and around Hobart. Amble through the colourful display at the Royal Tasmanian Botanic Gardens, encounter native Australian wildlife at the Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, or venture to the summit of Mount Wellington for breathtaking panoramic views. With Hobart consistently recognised as a top global destination, a visit to this enchanting city guarantees unforgettable experiences.
