A trip to Australia is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many, so when given the chance to go travelers want to make the most of their time there. As the country's second oldest city and the capital of the south, Hobart has much to offer visitors. If you are looking for something special for your Australian adventure to Hobart luxury hotels can be found to rival those of major cities across the globe with all the best facilities and often at a fraction of the price.
Lying at the shores of the Derwent River in the state of Tasmania, Hobart has a rich cultural history and plenty of attractions and points of interest for visitors to make the most of. Originally settled in 1803 as a penal colony the city is now home to over 200,000 residents and is the economic and administrative center of Tasmania.

Tourists visiting the city will find plenty to do for all ages and tastes. The Salamanca Market which takes place every Saturday morning is a must for a holiday itinerary. The market is held at the entrance of some huge sandstone warehouses which now house a wealth of local craft workshops, restaurants and gift shops. The market itself has a variety of sellers and stalls to visit and is one of the best places to purchase Tasmanian timber products to remember your trip with.
Just behind the market, Battery point is full of beautiful buildings and fascinating architecture with many of the buildings constructed from the city's typical yellow sandstone, giving the area a warm yellow glow even on overcast days. A little further from the city center the Botanical gardens are also well worth a visit, if only for the incredible sub Antarctic garden which holds some of the world's most hardy plants in super cooled greenhouses, a great way to cool off on a hot day.
In the south of the city, Cascade Brewery is the oldest brewery in Australia and still turns out some of the best beer in the world. Visitors wishing to take a tour will need to book and it is recommended for a visit during the week as although tours run at weekends the machinery is not operational. For more thirst quenching fun the Lark Distillery produces a number of fruit liqueurs and a good single malt, with tastings included in the tour.
Walkers and cyclists will enjoy time spent on Mount Wellington which provides unrivalled views of the city from its 4000ft peak. A more sedate breath of fresh air can be caught at the Mount Field National Park, where visitors can enjoy exploring its moorland, waterfalls and rainforest.
