Tasmania is a unique part of Australie<\/a>, full of natural beauty, with a significant chunk of the state designated as national parks and certain wildlife only found here. No Hobart itinerary would be complete without at least some natural beauty and a Tasmanian Devil!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tasmania is also home to significant parts of early and modern Australian history that have shaped the country, like Port Arthur, a historic convict settlement with a notorious history and the site of the infamous 1996 Port Arthur massacre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar convict-era sites can be found all around Hobart and elsewhere in Tasmania. Your Hobart itinerary will probably include at least some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hobart is the capital city of the state of Tasmania, an island state south of Victoria. Since it is separated from the rest of the country by the Bass Strait, the easiest way to get there is to fly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For a different experience, you can also take the Spirit of Tasmania<\/a>, a ferry, from Geelong in Victoria to Devonport in Tasmania, with or without a vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you take the ferry, it is an 11-hour, 15-minute trip followed by a 255 km drive to Hobart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are Europcar<\/a> et Budget<\/a> car rental depots located at the ferry terminal in Devonport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hobart has limited public transport, with busses operated by MetroTas<\/a> across the greater Hobart region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Being smaller than every other capital city in Australie<\/a>, except for Darwin, Hobart is easily managed by car, with many of the key historic sights located within walking distance around the Hobart CBD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are hop-on hop-off busses and shuttle buses that include both the CBD hop-on hop-off bus but also options that go to Richmond Village and Mt Wellington summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pre-Book Your Hobart Bus Tour Tickets Online:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MetroTas busses will also connect you to many of the sights further from the city centre, but to see the iconic sights outside of Hobart (like Port Arthur and Freycinet National Park), you will need to rent a car, take one of the shuttle busses above, or take an organised tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most voiture de location<\/a> companies have depots near the city centre. Avis<\/a>\/Budget and Hertz are the most convenient to the CBD. Sixt and Red Spot\/Enterprise are also close by. Europcar<\/a> is a little further out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I recommend Avis<\/a> et Europcar<\/a>. Check out AutoEurope<\/a> to compare prices with other providers and also make sure to check out current rental deals for booking direct:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the driving on this itinerary, you don\u2019t need a 4WD or anything fancy, just whatever vehicle is comfortable for you, but be sure to book in advance to get the best pricing and widest choice. It will also save you a lot of time on the day! Speaking of saving money, you might also be interested in this article I wrote about saving money on fuel in Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have your car, whip out your GPS\/phone, and we\u2019re off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I usually take a MagSafe car vent mount with me on our trips to easily mount my iPhone for directions and charging. I\u2019ve currently got this one<\/a> which I love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many convenient options around Hobart, but I would suggest staying in the CBD, in the area around Constitution Dock, to make the most of the historic city sights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We have stayed at Zero Davey Boutique Apartments<\/a> beside Victoria Dock, and while it isn’t the cheapest place to stay, it is very comfortable and conveniently located – I highly recommend them. Plus if you do take the hop-on hop-off bus, one of the stops is right outside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zero Davey Boutique Apartments Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the attractions in this itinerary are only open on certain days, eg MONA and Salamanca Market, so it is worth keeping that in mind as you plan your trip if these are things you want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Days 1 and 2 from this itinerary cover some of the same areas North East of Hobart and can be easily mixed and matched based on the days that MONA is open and how long you will spend at some of these attractions (not everyone will spend the amount of time at MONA that we did). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just make sure that however you arrange it, you leave yourself enough time for Port Arthur, the Tasman Peninsula, and Freycinet National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Day 1 in Hobart, and we will meet the iconic and elusive Tasmanian Devil before heading to the Tasman Peninsula to visit the infamous Port Arthur historic site and Devils Kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\nGetting to Hobart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
