Hobart attractions

Port Arthur is a compelling and dramatic reminder of Tasmania’s convict past - created with convict labour, the imposing architecture, established gardens and eerie prison buildings all have many stories to tell. If you’re staying in Hobart, this tour is one of the best ways to see Port Arthur - the tour departs daily from Hobart (Brooke Street Pier) - and depending on where you’re staying in Hobart, you can even be picked up at your hotel.

Salamanca Place is one of the most picturesque areas of Hobart, and the Salamanca Market is one thing you absolutely can't miss if you're in Hobart on a Saturday. The Salamanca Market is held every Saturday (regardless of the weather) and features hundreds of stalls selling crafts, food, books, CDs, vinyl records, clothing, odds and ends, and Tasmania’s famous local produce. There's plenty of entertainment for everyone - the fantastic City of Hobart Highland Pipe Band perform regularly at the Salamanca Market, along with various street performers and musicians providing a friendly down to earth atmosphere.

This is a great afternoon tour that includes the highlights of Hobart, followed by a tour of historic Richmond, one of Australia's most original historic villages. From its convict built homes and Georgian mansions, to the charming galleries, shops, and the oldest road bridge in Australia - nowhere else in Tasmania is the romance and nostalgic charm of colonial days more alive than in the village of Richmond. This is a fantastic tour for anyone interested in Australian history and architecture.
