Explore Tasmania 🇦🇺: 4 Nights 3 Days Car-free Adventure in Hobart & Beyond

Hobart, the charming capital of Tasmania, is a compact and pedestrian-friendly city that makes for an ideal weekend escape, especially for families. Just a short one-hour flight from Melbourne, Hobart currently enjoys sunny skies with a refreshing breeze, creating a delightful early winter atmosphere that’s both warm and invigorating.

Today’s itinerary: Start your day in Hobart with a leisurely brunch before checking into your hotel. In the morning, explore the city’s rich cultural offerings by visiting the museum and art gallery, followed by a stroll through the nearby area. In the afternoon, head to Linear Park for a chance to spot the elusive platypus in its natural habitat.

The museums in Hobart are conveniently clustered, with the Hobart Museum & Gallery being a must-visit. This free attraction boasts an extensive collection of local flora and fauna, early colonial artifacts, and a fascinating Antarctic exhibition that offers a glimpse into the region’s unique history.

During my visit, I stumbled upon two fantastic spots that stood out for their unique decor, bustling atmosphere, and delectable food. At the ice cream shop, I indulged in their signature Pepper berry and leatherwood honey flavor, which was incredibly smooth and had a distinct, not overly sweet taste.
