Hobart

Hobart

Hobart is the historic capital on the coast of Tasmania with old sandstone warehouses from the 1830s, many waterways and the bustling Salamanca Market on the wide Derwent River. Here you can enjoy the sea air and discover the fishing port, one of the most beautiful nature built harbours in the world.

Outside the front door of Hobart lies the massif of Mount Wellington, a hiker’s paradise with panoramic views over throughout Southeast Tasmania. In many areas of Tasmania one can find lonely primeval rainforest vegetation, what invites for long bushwalks through the lush green world including forests full of tree-ferns.
