Discover Hobart's Attractions

This southern capital city is not only a gateway to Tasmania's many attractions but a unique destination in its own right.

It's the birthplace of the Crown Princess of Denmark and in late December (and early January) it's the city where the grueling Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race finishes.

From Hobart, two of the many places you can visit on daytrips are historic Richmond and Port Arthur.
