Hobart is the capital city of Tasmania, located in the south of the island. Hobart is a historic suburb, with a charming feel and a rich architectural heritage. The area seamlessly blends a mixture of classic and contemporary styles, with multiple buildings dating back as far as the colonial era. Hobart is renowned for its sophisticated Victorian homes, charismatic cottages, and stylish apartments that have been converted from old warehouses.
Like so much of Tasmania, Hobart is surrounded by incredible natural beauty, including the Derwent River and Mount Wellington. For outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, Hobart provides an ideal hub to explore the stunning scenery and surrounding landscapes. Within Hobart city itself, residents are treated to a thriving arts and cultural scene that includes the Museum of Old and Modern Art (MONA) and the Royal Theatre.
If you’re looking to engross yourself into Tasmanian culture, engage with the local community and explore everything this beautiful island has to offer, Hobart is a great place to do it.
