Hobart

Hobart is located in the south-east corner of Tasmania and nestled alongside the Derwent River. It is the second oldest city in Australia and has a pretty mixing of colonial architecture with the modern. It is relaxed and has a variety of shopping and eating places. Hobart offers several museums including the Maritime Museum of Tasmania, The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and the Van Diemen’s Land Folk Museum. The Cascade Brewery, close to the city centre, offers tours of the facility. There is also many outdoor activities that can be enjoyed along the Derwent.

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and due to its geographic location is the southern most capital city of Australia. This being the case it is cold during winter. Mt Wellington which looms over the city receives snow over winter which is a comfortable drive and a great lookout point. The best time to visit if you don’t like the cold is obviously summer however the general temperature is low with the odd sting of hot days.

While Hobart does not have an abundance of accommodation options like other capital cities it makes for a more intimate experience. Listed below are Hobart hostels.
