Travel Guide
Hobart, Tasmania
-
Nature prevails in Hobart, with the capital city of Tasmania sprinkled along Derwent River and Mount Wellington. Captivating in the most simplistic way, tall shadows of the mountainscape replace the common skyscrapers found in majority of cities. If you are here for the history, take a stroll down Salamanca Place where its streets are composed of colonial buildings and art galleries. For those who crave adventure, venture out of the city where you'll be met with vast, dynamic landscape.
