What makes Hobart so damn cool?
Once a sleepy harbour, now a vibrant destination brimming with culture. Hobart is being added to travellers bucket lists every minute of every day.
Aside from being absolutely beautiful, Hobart’s Waterfront district is home to some of the best of the city’s wine, seafood and dining experiences.
The opening of the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) has transformed the tiny Tasmanian state capital into a hot destination for urban explorers looking for the fine things in life. For art lovers, culture junkies, foodies, wine connoisseurs, adrenaline freaks and nature lovers, Hobart really does have it all.
Strange dreams and restless nights; the epic winter solstice festival, Dark Mofo, turns Hobart into a dark, yet magical destination. Plus, who wouldn’t want to do a freezing cold naked swim with a bunch of other mad people?!
Now is the perfect place to visit the city’s historic waterfront; the electric centre of it all.
