Hobart Tours & Holidays

Hobart Airport is located 17 kilometres east of the CBD. A SkyBus service travels to/from the city, but it costs about the same (or sometimes less) to catch a taxi or an Uber.

Car rental desks are available at the airport and many companies also have an office in town. If you need a hire car, book early as prices rise substantially during peak travel periods when hire cars are in high demand.

Most places in Hobart are within easy walking distance. There are no trains, trams or public ferries but there are buses. If possible, you might like to avoid travelling around using public transport on Sundays as it can get tricky due to the reduced timetable.

If you need a hire car, book early as prices rise substantially during peak travel periods when hire cars are in high demand.

Hobart, and Tassie in general, is a year-round destination. There's a buzz in summer (December-February) with alfresco diners along the waterfront, warm weather for exploring the Botanic Gardens and walking trails around Hobart, and heaps of festivals and events.

Spring (September-November) and autumn (March-May) are great times to go walking thanks to seasonal colours throughout Hobart and southern Tasmania, while winter is perfect if you love crisp winter days and rugging up in cosy pubs around a log fire.

In short, pretty much everything. Bring clothes you can layer plus a jumper or jacket, wet weather gear, sunscreen, a hat and a beanie. And don't be surprised if you end up wearing all these things on the same day!

Hobart is a fairly casual place although locals do tend to dress up if they are 'hitting the town' at night. Smart casual is the norm at restaurants in Hobart, aside from the signature 'date night' ones like Landscape Restaurant & Grill where people tend to dress up more. 

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania so there is good wi-fi coverage in town and most of the surrounding area. 

Hobart is a small but vibrant city with a busy festival and event calendar. Some of the most popular festivals in Hobart include:

• Mona Foma - January
• Dark Mofo - June
• Festival of Voices - July
• Taste of Tasmania - December/January

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania so there's good mobile coverage in town and most of the surrounding area. However, your phone reception may be a little patchy on the road and in more remote areas.
