With a mild climate (unlike many locations in Australia, it has four distinct seasons), a city steeped in history such as this has a lot to offer the visitor.
Hobart is home to Australia 's first legal casino which still towers over surrounding grounds, and musical acts are often on show there. Then there is the Theatre Royal, Australia 's oldest theatre, and plenty of places to eat and drink the night away. As well as local delicacies, expect to try French, Italian, Chinese, Thai and Mexican food.
Hobart is recognised for yachting and is the finishing point of the ‘ Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race' which commences on Boxing Day. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are stunning, awash with vibrant flowers and grounds that can be enjoyed at your leisure. The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra is not to be missed, with a year round programme, it is well worth a visit.
A city full of history and interests, Hobart brings something a little different and unique to Australian tourism.
