Museum of Old and New Art · Berriedale
A museum carved into a sandstone cliff over the Derwent, paid for by a professional gambler and designed to unsettle you. You descend three floors below ground level before the art even starts.
Tip: The non-Tasmanian adult ticket goes from A$39 to A$45 on 22 October 2026 — buy before then if you can. Tasmanians get in free but still need a ticket.
🚇 30 min by ferry from Brooke Street Pier (9.15am-4.30pm)
Featured in: mona.net.au 2026
Show on mapSalamanca Market · Salamanca Place
Between 200 and 300 stalls filling the whole row of 1830s sandstone warehouses. Bruny cheese, leatherwood honey, Tasmanian timber, wool and buskers on every corner.
Tip: Saturdays only. Turn up on a Tuesday and you'll find a street of bars, not a market. Get there before 10am for the produce — after that the cruise crowds land.
🚇 6 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: salamanca.com.au 2026
Show on mapkunanyi / Mount Wellington · Wellington Park
The mountain that looms over all of Hobart, 1,270 m above sea level. From the top you see the estuary, the city, the airport and, on a clear day, the Tasman Peninsula.
Tip: Pinnacle Road closes for snow, ice or wind even in October — check the City of Hobart status page before you go. On 26-27 October the summit sits below freezing. Take a windproof jacket even if it's 28 °C down in town.
🚇 official shuttle daily at 9.30, 11, 12.30, 2 and 3.30 (Oct-Apr)
Featured in: Wellington Park / City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapPinnacle Observation Shelter · kunanyi
The glazed summit shelter: the one spot where you can take in the 360° view without the wind stripping your jacket off. Panels on the geology and the palawa names for what you're seeing.
Tip: It's the perfect plan B when the summit wind hits 60 km/h, which is normal. The outer boardwalk is wheelchair accessible; the upper walkway isn't.
🚇 1 min on foot from kunanyi's Pinnacle
Featured in: Wellington Park 2026
Show on mapOrgan Pipes · kunanyi
Dolerite columns 120 m high cut sheer into the hillside, like a cathedral organ laid on its side. It's Tasmania's most famous climbing wall.
Tip: The Organ Pipes Track runs underneath them and makes a far better photo than the summit view. In a north-westerly there's rockfall — check the forecast.
🚇 5 min on foot from kunanyi's Pinnacle
Featured in: Wellington Park 2026
Show on mapSphinx Rock · Wellington Park
A rock outcrop over the Huon valley, a 40-minute walk up from Fern Tree through wet eucalypt forest. One of the best short walks on the mountain.
Tip: You can do it even when Pinnacle Road is shut for snow — it sits well below the snow line. Guaranteed mud after rain.
🚇 city bus to Fern Tree then a 40 min walk (buses are free)
Featured in: Wellington Park 2026
Show on mapDisappearing Tarn · kunanyi
An impossibly turquoise pool that forms among the boulders only after heavy rain or snowmelt, then vanishes within days. Half of Hobart chases it on Instagram.
Tip: Don't waste a day on it: it only exists a few days a year. Check fresh reports in the local bushwalking groups before you climb, and don't swim — it's 4 °C.
🚇 walk in from Pinnacle Road or Fern Tree, about 1 hr
Featured in: Wellington Park / reportes locales 2026
Show on mapCascades Female Factory · South Hobart
Empty stone yards where more than 5,000 convict women and their children were held. A UNESCO World Heritage site and the hardest, best-told story in Hobart.
Tip: Entry includes the 45-minute guided Convict Women's Tour: A$35 adult, A$20 child, departing 10, 11, 12, 2 and 3. It is NOT the same place as the Penitentiary Chapel in town.
🚇 city bus to South Hobart, Cascade Brewery stop (free)
Featured in: femalefactory.org.au 2026
Show on mapPenitentiary Chapel and Criminal Court · Hobart
A chapel, a criminal court, cells and tunnels under one roof, right in the city centre. Convicts walked from the dock straight to the gallows out the back.
Tip: Guided tour only, and there aren't many slots — book ahead. The night ghost tour is run by the National Trust and sells out first.
🚇 11 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: National Trust Tasmania 2026
Show on mapTasmanian Museum and Art Gallery · Hobart
The state museum, in Tasmania's oldest public building. Thylacine, colonial art, a palawa gallery and an Antarctic room that justifies the visit on its own.
Tip: There's no admission charge, whatever you may have assumed. Closed Mondays. Start in the ningina tunapri gallery, which tells Tasmania from the Aboriginal side.
🚇 3 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: TMAG / Discover Tasmania 2026
Show on mapMaritime Museum of Tasmania · 16 Argyle St
Models, lamps, charts and the story of whaling and the Sydney-Hobart race, in the old Carnegie Library. Small, tidy and not a screen in sight.
Tip: Open 9-5 every day but Christmas. Ask them to point you to the May Queen, built 1867 and still afloat just outside at Constitution Dock.
🚇 1 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: maritimetas.org 2026
Show on mapMawson's Huts Replica Museum · Mawson Place
An exact replica of the hut Douglas Mawson raised at Cape Denison in 1912, built right on the waterfront. Step inside and you understand real cold in ten seconds.
Tip: Open daily 10-5 and it does charge, unlike TMAG. Hobart is a working Antarctic port — look for an icebreaker tied up at Macquarie Wharf.
🚇 3 min on foot from Brooke Street Pier
Featured in: mawsons-huts.org.au 2026
Show on mapNarryna Heritage Museum · Battery Point
An 1836 Georgian merchant's house with its garden, kitchen and servants' quarters intact. Colonial domestic life without the gloss.
Tip: Tuesday to Saturday only, 10-4 — don't turn up on a Sunday. The back garden is free and in bloom in October.
🚇 6 min on foot from Salamanca Place
Featured in: narryna.com.au 2026
Show on mapRoyal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens · Queens Domain
Founded in 1818, with the world's only public Antarctic Plant House, an 1829 heated wall and a Japanese garden. In October it erupts in tulips and cherry blossom.
Tip: Entry is free. Heads up: the conservatory is CLOSED for restoration, so the real wet-weather plan here is the Antarctic Plant House, not the big glasshouse.
🚇 city bus to Queens Domain or a 25 min walk from town (free)
Featured in: gardens.rtbg.tas.gov.au 2026
Show on mapQueens Domain · Hobart norte
The dry-grass and eucalypt hill between the city and the river, with trails, the Domain Athletics Centre and the best sunset view of the Tasman Bridge.
Tip: Walk up Soldiers Memorial Avenue, a line of trees planted one per Tasmanian soldier killed in WWI, each with its plaque. In spring the grass is green and full of native orchids.
🚇 30 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapArthur Circus · Battery Point
A perfect ring of 1847 cottages around a tiny green, in the heart of Battery Point. It's the postcard of convict Hobart and it's still a lived-in street.
Tip: It's residential: keep your voice down and don't point the camera into windows. Come up via Kelly's Steps and you skip the long loop round Hampden Road.
🚇 7 min on foot from Salamanca Place
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapKelly's Steps · Salamanca Place
An 1839 sandstone stair wedged between two warehouses, cut so sailors could climb from the docks to Battery Point without the detour. It's still the shortcut.
Tip: They're steep and slick in the rain. At the top you come out on Kelly Street, a block from Arthur Circus — the best way into Battery Point.
🚇 4 min on foot from Salamanca Place
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapSalamanca Arts Centre · Salamanca Place
Seven sandstone warehouses strung together into studios, galleries, a theatre and the Salamanca Courtyard. This is where the artists who can't afford shopfront rent actually are.
Tip: Go in through the arcade and head up: almost nobody finds the upstairs studios and many sell direct. Friday evenings there's free music in the Courtyard.
🚇 3 min on foot from Salamanca Place
Featured in: salarts.org.au 2026
Show on mapCascade Brewery · South Hobart
An 1824 Gothic sandstone facade set at the foot of kunanyi, with its own garden and mountain water piped straight in. It's Australia's oldest operating brewery.
Tip: The tour is 18+ only, needs enclosed flat shoes, bans alcohol beforehand and asks you to arrive 15 min early. Book ahead — walk-ups often miss out. The garden you can see without a tour.
🚇 city bus to South Hobart, Cascade Brewery stop (free)
Featured in: Discover Tasmania / Cascade 2026
Show on mapLark Distillery · 14 Davey St
The distillery that restarted Tasmanian whisky in 1992, after 150 years of prohibition. Its city cellar door pours small batches that never leave the island.
Tip: Open daily 11-7, and the tasting flight here costs far less than buying a bottle blind. Ask for a peated one — Tasmanian peat tastes nothing like Scottish.
🚇 2 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: Lark Distillery 2026
Show on mapMount Nelson Signal Station · Mount Nelson
The 1811 signal post that flagged the town when a ship arrived or a convict escaped. The view sweeps the Derwent all the way to Bruny Island.
Tip: It's the fallback when Pinnacle Road is shut: 20 minutes up, free, with a cafe next door. At dusk you watch Wrest Point light up below.
🚇 city bus to Mount Nelson from town, 20 min (free)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapShot Tower · Taroona
An 1870 conical stone tower, 48 m tall, where molten lead was dropped to round off mid-air. It's the tallest of its kind in the southern hemisphere and you climb it inside.
Tip: 318 narrow spiral steps with no landing and a handrail on one side only — not for the claustrophobic. There's a tea room at the bottom to make up for it.
🚇 city bus to Taroona, 25 min from town (free)
Featured in: Shot Tower Taroona 2026
Show on mapConstitution Dock · Hobart
The basin where the Sydney-Hobart race finishes every 28 December and where the fishing boats that feed half the city tie up. Floating fish-and-chip punts on the water.
Tip: Buy a scallop fritter from one of the floating punts and eat it sitting on the dock edge. Mind the gulls — they're professionals.
🚇 3 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapVictoria Dock · Hobart
The working basin next door: real trawlers, nets laid out, cranes. Less postcard than Constitution Dock and a lot more real.
Tip: Early morning is when the night's catch comes off. The Victoria Dock bascule bridge lifts several times a day and it's worth waiting for.
🚇 5 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapBrooke Street Pier · Sullivans Cove
A three-storey floating pontoon that rises and falls with the tide: terminal for the MONA ferry, the Bellerive ferry and the channel cruises, plus bars and Tasmanian producers.
Tip: The kunanyi shuttle office is here too, open 8.30-4. If you're doing MONA and the mountain on the same trip, book both at this one stop.
🚇 4 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: Brooke Street Pier 2026
Show on mapTheatre Royal · 29 Campbell St
Australia's oldest working theatre, from 1837, with a Georgian horseshoe, gilded boxes and a resident ghost called Fred up in the gods.
Tip: Even without a show they run backstage tours. The room is genuinely small — there's no bad seat, so buy the cheapest one.
🚇 6 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: Theatre Royal Hobart 2026
Show on mapState Cinema · North Hobart
A 1913 picture house that never closed, now ten screens threaded through a maze of stairs, with a bookshop, a bar and a rooftop open-air screen.
Tip: The rooftop screen opens in spring and summer and is the best in the country for watching something with the mountain behind it. Bring a layer — it gets cold even after a 28 °C day.
🚇 2 min on foot from stop 7 on Elizabeth St, North Hobart
Featured in: State Cinema 2026
Show on mapHobart Town Hall · Macquarie St
An 1866 sandstone town hall with a ballroom and imperial staircase, built directly on the footings of the colony's first Government House.
Tip: Walk in weekdays 8.15-5: the hall and staircase are open with no ticket or permission. It's the landmark for the Hobart Interchange, where nearly every bus stops.
🚇 1 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapWrest Point Hotel Casino · Sandy Bay
The 1973 tower that was Australia's first legal casino, planted on the water at Sandy Bay. The revolving bar on level 17 turns a full circle in a bit over an hour.
Tip: Ride up to the revolving bar for the view alone: you don't need to eat at the pricey restaurant next to it and the lift is free. Go in late-afternoon light.
🚇 city bus to Sandy Bay, 10 min from town (free)
Featured in: Wrest Point 2026
Show on mapNinja Stadium · Bellerive
The cricket and Aussie-rules oval on the eastern shore, with kunanyi rising behind the stand. Home of the Hobart Hurricanes and of test cricket on the island.
Tip: Since October 2024 it's Ninja Stadium, not Blundstone Arena — maps and apps still carry the old name. On match days the ferry runs extra services.
🚇 15 min ferry from Brooke Street Pier then an 8 min walk
Featured in: austadiums.com 2026
Show on mapMyState Bank Arena · Glenorchy
The indoor arena where the Tasmania JackJumpers play in the national basketball league and where the big shows that don't fit downtown land.
Tip: It changed name: this was the Derwent Entertainment Centre. A JackJumpers game is the loudest, cheapest night in Hobart, and the bus home is free.
🚇 city bus to Glenorchy, 20 min from town (free)
Featured in: mystatebankarena.com.au 2026
Show on mapRoyal Hobart Showground · Glenorchy
The Royal Agricultural Society of Tasmania grounds: prize cattle, show jumping, grand parade, craft pavilion and sideshow alley, going since 1822.
Tip: The 2026 Royal Hobart Show runs Wednesday 21 to Saturday 24 October, and Thursday 22 is a public holiday across southern Tasmania: odd shop hours, no ferry and a holiday bus timetable.
🚇 city bus to Glenorchy, 20 min from town (free)
Featured in: hobartshowground.com.au 2026
Show on mapWaterworks Reserve · Ridgeway
Two Victorian drinking-water reservoirs ringed by lawn, picnic tables and bush, at the foot of the mountain. Hobart's Sunday picnic since forever.
Tip: Walking or cycling in is free; cars pay per vehicle. The track up kunanyi starts here if you want the mountain without the shuttle.
🚇 city bus to Dynnyrne then a 10 min walk (free)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapKingston Beach · Kingston
A white crescent with the Boronia cliffs to the south and the mountain behind, 20 minutes from town. It's Hobart's family beach, not the postcard one.
Tip: In October the water is 13 °C: this is a walking beach, not a swimming one. The clifftop path to Boronia Beach starts at the southern end and is the best bit.
🚇 city bus to Kingston, 25 min from town (free)
Featured in: Kingborough Council 2026
Show on mapNutgrove Beach · Sandy Bay
Sandy Bay's urban beach, Wrest Point on one side and the yachts on the other. Calm water, dogs running and the best Tasman Bridge view from sand.
Tip: You can walk the whole shoreline to Long Beach in 20 minutes, with a kiosk at the far end. Best flat walk in the city on a 28 °C day.
🚇 city bus to Sandy Bay, 12 min from town (free)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapLong Beach · Sandy Bay
Sand, public barbecues, a playground and a line of pines: where Hobart does its Sunday cook-up the moment the temperature lifts.
Tip: The electric barbecues are free and fill up from midday on good weekends. Saturday 24 brings 18 mm of rain — not that day.
🚇 city bus to Lower Sandy Bay, 15 min (free)
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapBellerive Beach · Bellerive
A long stretch of sand on the eastern shore, looking straight back at downtown Hobart and the mountain. The best photo of the city is taken from here.
Tip: Cross on the late ferry and you come home with the mountain glowing pink behind you. Note: no ferry on Sundays or public holidays, so none on Thursday 22.
🚇 15 min ferry from Brooke Street Pier then a 10 min walk
Featured in: Clarence City Council 2026
Show on mapSullivans Cove · Hobart
The cove where the first colonial fleet anchored in 1804 and around which the whole of Hobart was built. Everything that matters in this city faces this water.
Tip: Walk the whole rim: 40 flat minutes from Hunter Street to Castray Esplanade, taking in all four docks without repeating a street.
🚇 2 min on foot from Brooke Street Pier
Featured in: City of Hobart 2026
Show on mapTasmanian Travel and Information Centre · 20 Davey St
The city's official visitor centre, on the corner of Davey and Elizabeth. The kunanyi shuttle and half the island's tours leave from here.
Tip: They'll tell you on the spot whether Pinnacle Road is open, which is the question that actually matters. Weekdays 9-5, Saturday 9-3, Sunday 9-1.
🚇 2 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: hobarttravelcentre.com.au 2026
Show on mapFarm Gate Market · Bathurst St
On Sundays they close Bathurst Street and fill it with growers: if you can't eat it, drink it or grow it, or you can't meet the maker, it doesn't get in. Started with 12 stalls in 2009.
Tip: It's not the Salamanca Market: that's Saturday and it's crafts. This is SUNDAY and it's food. Come for breakfast here and you'll skip lunch.
🚇 7 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)
Featured in: farmgatemarket.com.au 2026
Show on mapFern Tree Tavern · Fern Tree
The mountain pub halfway up to kunanyi, with a fireplace, wet forest all around and the beer you earn after a walk.
Tip: It's the trailhead for half a dozen mountain walks and the only hot food before you climb. When it snows up top, the fire is lit down here.
🚇 city bus to Fern Tree, 25 min from town (free)
Featured in: Wellington Park 2026
Show on mapHobart Brewing Co. · Macquarie Point
A giant red shed on the water's edge at Macquarie Point, with timber tables outside, food trucks and the mountain framed by the shed door.
Tip: Friday evenings it fills with locals and food trucks. Order the Harbour Master, the one they've brewed since day one.
🚇 10 min on foot from Hobart Interchange (Elizabeth St)

Show on mapDier Makr · 123 Collins St
A twelve-course run in a tiny CBD room, no menu and no choices: you eat what came in that morning. It holds the highest 2026 Chef Hats score in Tasmania.
Tip: Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only, and very few tables: book weeks ahead. Take the wine pairing — that's where the magic is.

Show on mapFico · 151A Macquarie St
A nine-course menu from a couple who came from Italy and stayed. Forty seats, service without ceremony and strictly Tasmanian produce.
Tip: If dinner is booked out, lunch is easier to get and costs half. Flag allergies when you book — it's a single set menu.

Show on mapPeppina · 2b Salamanca Place
A proper Italian with an open kitchen and a wood oven, inside The Tasman on Salamanca in a 19th-century building. Pasta made on site and a very long wine list.
Tip: The dish to order is the wood-fired Tasmanian lamb to share. If you only want snacks, take a walk-in seat at the kitchen bar.

Show on mapInstitut Polaire · 1 Murray St
A wine bar with an Antarctic theme: ice, white, metal and a cold-climate wine list you won't find anywhere else in Australia.
Tip: Closed Tuesday, Wednesday AND Thursday — it catches more people out than any other place in town. Sunday and Monday 12-11 is the quiet window.

Half neighbourhood cafe, half restaurant: their own baking, charcuterie cured in-house and hand-rolled pasta, on a quiet North Hobart corner.

MONA's upstairs restaurant, a long window over the Moorilla vineyard and the Derwent. Tasmanian produce cooking with the estate's own cellar next door.

MONA's relaxed option: cheese boards, oysters, estate wines and a terrace over the river. It opens earlier and shuts later than everything else there.
Tip: Thursday to Monday from 9.30am: the one place at MONA you can eat without booking. Get the island oysters with a riesling from the vineyard out front.

The bar buried in the heart of the museum, no windows, pizza, cocktails and the house Moo Brew. You walk out of a disturbing gallery and land straight in it.

The Mures family's fish house and restaurant on Victoria Dock since 1973, with their own boat. Upstairs is tablecloths and a view; downstairs is a counter.

Dock fish and chips done properly, tables outside over the water at Sullivans Cove. Nothing fancy and always full, which is exactly the point.

A fish-shaped floating punt moored in Constitution Dock, frying for decades. You buy at the hatch and eat standing on the dock.

The other floating punt at Constitution Dock, specialising in island abalone, scallops and crayfish. A counter and folding tables, nothing else.

Classic Australian leather and outerwear: oilskin coats, felt hats, boots and belts built for paddocks, not photographs.
Tip: An Australian oilskin is the only thing that genuinely handles Hobart's wind and drizzle, and it lasts twenty years. It's not costume, it's kit.
