Hobart’s skyline is dominated by Mount Wellington, making Hobart easily one of the more picturesque of Australia’s cities. Initially founded as one of Australia’s penal colonies, Hobart now is a growing city, and as the state capital of Tasmania, has many visitor attractions on offer.

Of the various museums and galleries which can be found around Hobart, some of the highlights include the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and the Maritime Museum of Tasmania. A further highlight in Hobart is the fantastic live music scene – visitors should definitely make sure they check out some of the live performances which can be seen in bars and clubs across the city on most evenings.

As you would expect of a capital city of a state with 37% there are also plenty of green attractions to be found around the city, including the Bonorong Wildlife Park and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens.
