Cycling is a great way to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Hobart and the Derwent river has to offer. Hobart is a very bicycle friendly city, and as long as you don't plan on riding to the peak of Mount Wellington, the terrain is reasonably flat. Derwent Bike Hire is located at the Cenotaph (5 mins walk from the CBD), and has easy access to both the Inter-City Cycleway and Eastern Shore bike tracks. They have a wide selection of bicycles including kids bikes, tandems, and even recumbent bikes - which can be hired on an hourly, daily or weekly basis.

A visit to the summit of Mount Wellington is an absolute must for anyone visiting Hobart - the landscape at the summit is almost like another planet, and the view of Hobart and surrounding areas is stunning.

Tours operate every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday - and online bookings are available from only $42. This is a excellent tour to take as soon as you get to Hobart - the view from the observation shelter is a great way to see where all the different landmarks of Hobart are located.
