If you love the sound of a walkable city centered around a harbour with historic neighbourhoods, historic buildings and a good local vibe &#8211; pack your bags as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/2172\/hobart\">Hobart<\/a> delivers. Craig Makepeace has the things to do that you cannot miss while in beautiful Hobart.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-11 alignalignfull-width\" src=\"\/holiday-ideas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2UiNgntLbNnbPeplL2VDqN\/a74476cd261f03f2a306f07d5a298726\/things_to_do_in_hobart_-_Mt_Wellington__Salamanca__MONA__Battery_Point_-_Stayz.jfif\" alt=\"things to do in hobart - Mt Wellington, Salamanca, MONA, Battery Point\">Mount Wellington (top left); Salamanca Place (top right); MONA (bottom left); Battery Point (bottom right)<\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a name=\"Historical_Battery_Point\">Historical Battery Point<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/44689\/battery-point\">Battery Point<\/a> is known as one of Hobart\u2019s more prestigious suburbs and has a large number of historic houses. Talk a walk around this suburb and admire the prestigious homes and their rose gardens. For a coffee or bite to eat check out Jam Jar Lounge Cafe and the Village Cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\n2. <a name=\"Salamanca_Place\">Salamanca Place<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>My favourite area of Hobart is Salamanca Place and Salamanca Square with the historic Georgian sandstone warehouses. Eating and drinking in the cafes and pubs is one of the best things to do in Hobart. A popular place for the locals is the funky Machine Laundry Cafe and Retro Cafe.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r3. <a name=\"Salamanca_Markets\">Salamanca Markets<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>With a reputation as one of Australia\u2019s best, the Salamanca Markets are held every Saturday in picturesque Salamanca Place. They&#8217;re essentially one long street of vendors selling their wares, buskers performing and yummy street food to try. This one should be most definitely be on your list of things to do in Hobart.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r4. <a name=\"Historic_Harbour\">Historic Harbour<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>I love a harbour city and Hobart&#8217;s is a beautiful harbour to wander and so serene early in the morning on a clear day. Things really ramp up though in early January when the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/404865\/sydney-nsw-australia\">Sydney<\/a> to Hobart yacht race comes to town. Don&#8217;t miss Fish Frenzy for the best fish and chips in a cone right on Hobart waterfront.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r5. <a name=\"MONA\">MONA<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) is the place that revitalized Hobart and put it on the must see destination list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/17388\/tasmania-australia\">Tasmania<\/a>. The founder David Walsh describes MONA as a \u201csubversive adult Disneyland.\u201d I&#8217;m normally not a museum person, but MONA is very interesting indeed, and I like how you\u2019re a part of the experience as you move through it. On the list of things to do in Hobart &#8211; this one is by no means last on the list!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. The <a name=\"Cascade_Brewery\">Cascade Brewery<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The Cascade Brewery is Australia&#8217;s oldest brewery. Here you can sample their great range of beers and cider in a lovely terrace setting. Take a brewery tour and learn about the brewing process, or a heritage tour takes you around the 3 acres of gardens which also includes tastings and is suitable for families.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r7. <a name=\"Mt._Wellington\">Mt. Wellington<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mt. Wellington rises 1,270 metres over Hobart&#8217;s harbour and is often referred to as &#8216;the Mountain&#8217; by the locals. You&#8217;ve got to be lucky to get a clear day though, I didn&#8217;t, but if you do I&#8217;ve been told the 21 km drive to the summit ends with panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island and the Tasman Peninsula.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\r8. <a name=\"Port_Arthur\">Port Arthur<\/a> Historical Site\r\n<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>No visit to Tasmania is complete without experiencing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/45113\/port-arthur\">Port Arthur<\/a>. It&#8217;s one of the most fascinating, moving and interesting places I&#8217;ve visited in all of Australia. It&#8217;s violent and troubled history as a penal colony for some of Australia\u2019s hardened convicts is well noted, yet it\u2019s beauty brings this contrasting sense of peace and happiness. Don&#8217;t miss the ghost tour.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <a name=\"Richmond\">Richmond<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>25 km north-east of Hobart the town of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/d\/12492\/richmond-tas-australia\">Richmond<\/a> makes for a great side trip. Step back in time as you walk across Australia&#8217;s oldest bridge, stroll along the picturesque river, visit galleries, antique shops and have lunch at the Richmond Arms Hotel or famed Bakery Cafe in Richmond Village. It&#8217;s a good trip to mark the finish of your quest to see the best things to do in Hobart.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re taking a holiday to Hobart, then you&#8217;ll want the advice of one of our resident travel experts.
