Holidays To Hobart

Hobart holidays take you 149 miles south of the Australian mainland to the island state of Tasmania. Hobart is a vibrant city with a distinctive cultural scene, beautifully-preserved colonial architecture and breath-taking landscapes. The city lies at the foot of the majestic Mount Wellington, which provides a picturesque backdrop to everyday Hobart life.

Hobart boasts a charming waterfront, with excellent bars and brunch spots. For a taste of the city’s cultural heritage and an insight into the surrounding area, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery will inform and entertain you with exhibitions on Tasmania’s convict history, plus artefacts from the whaling industry and the infamous Tasmanian tiger to discover. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) hosts a dazzling collection of works from Australian and international artists. MONA’s acclaimed MONA FOMA and Dark MOFO festivals, which take place in the summer and winter months respectively, have put the city on the map as an avant-garde hotspot.

Holidays in Hobart

If you prefer to explore beyond the city of Hobart, just a short drive from the city, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the spectacular wilderness. Take in the majestic Cradle Mountain National Park, enjoy a boat cruise along the Gordon River, and explore the eerie ruined penal colony of Port Arthur.

Along the way, you’ll stay in some of the island’s best hotels.
