Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and is one of the most attractive cities in Australia. Hobart is famous for its stunning harbor and numerous historic buildings.
The city of Hobart is surrounded by Hobart. Antarctic supply vessels and liners mingle with sailing craft in the sparkling
Harbor. The harbor is a great place to view old and new ships. You should visit the historic town of Richmond, about 20 minutes away from Hobart. You will find the oldest bridge and the oldest Catholic Church in Australia.
Dining options are aplenty in Hobart. Enjoy the sharp crunch of apples, crusty bread hot from a country bakery, world-beating ales, rich cream, full-flavoured cheeses and a summer spectrum of berry fruits. You could also enjoy a variety of local oysters, lobster or the smoky tang of Atlantic salmon. Visit the harbor area before your meal and watch the catch directly delivered to you directly.
If you love history, visit Salamanca Place, where you will come across a row of Georgian waterfront houses. You should also visit the Salamanca markets on a Saturday morning and admire the craftwork made from native wood, glass and pottery. The Salamanca has a number of cafes and boutiques, and numerous waterfront seafood restaurants and pubs. Also visit the Historic Franklin Wharf and Princes Wharf. Know more about the architecture with The Battery Point Walking Tour.
You could also visit Downtown Franklin, which houses a number of historical buildings and also the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Macquarie Street. One must not miss out the Tasmanian tiger display at the museum. Taste the Cascade Beer, produced at the famous Cascade Brewery, the oldest Brewery in Australia. The Tasmania Distillery is equally interesting and guided tours are conducted year round and include tasting of whisky, gin, brandy and vodka.
