Things to do in Tasmania

Spend a day in this area where sandstone warehouses are now home to gourmet restaurants, trendy bars, galleries and a busy Saturday market.

With more than 300 stalls, this Saturday market is one of Hobart’s most visited attractions. Come for a meal, fresh produce or hand-made gift items.

Why not roll the dice with a visit to Wrest Point Casino during your visit to Hobart? Check out the casinos and lively bars in this walkable area.

See the dramatic contours of this rugged peak from the shores of Dove Lake or clamber to its summit for unbeatable views of Tasmania’s World Heritage wilderness.

Hike through native bushland and be rewarded with awe-inspiring views of this sweep of white sand protected by pink granite mountains in Freycinet National Park.

Majestic columns of rock rise to the peak of this often snow-capped mountain, providing a playground for nature lovers, and a stunning backdrop for Hobart.

Swim in a tranquil basin fed by tumbling mountain-spring waters, fly over the water on a chairlift and stroll around the gardens fringed with stunning native forest.

History seeps from the stones on Hobart’s waterfront, where colonial buildings are now galleries and where you can eat fresh seafood and watch a famous yacht race.

Living up to its name, with brilliant orange lichen on boulders, this secluded spot along Tasmania’s eastern coast is worth a lingering visit.
