Why you'll love it
Hobart is Tasmania's harbour capital, set between the River Derwent and kunanyi/Mount Wellington. It scores 9 out of 10 for food, nature and safety, and 8 for culture and romance, with a strong food scene and wild country close to town.
The best time to visit Hobart is December to March, when the days are long and mild. Summer brings the Taste of Tasmania food festival on the waterfront, and the Sydney to Hobart yachts arrive after Christmas.
Browse Salamanca Market on Saturday, then walk the sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place and Battery Point. Take the ferry to MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, and drive to the summit of kunanyi for views over the city. Day trips run to Bruny Island, the Port Arthur Historic Site and the Huon Valley.
Hobart suits food lovers, couples and travellers who like history and nature together.
