Things to do when visiting Hobart

The greatest thing about Tasmania is that many of its best attractions are so easy to get to. You can be standing on a mountain top in the morning and be paddling in the sea in the afternoon if you have a rental car to get you to places.

If you're an active kind of traveller then a climb up Mt Wellington should do the trick for you. You'll be able to enjoy panoramic views across Hobart, Bruny Island, South Arm and the Tasman Peninsula and know that your hire car will be waiting to take you home at night.

Drive a little further and you'll find the Coal River wineries. The fresh Tasmanian climate provides fantastic growing conditions for many varieties, including Pinot Noir

Jump in your hire car and head to the Cadbury Factory, the principle chocolate producer in all of Asia Pacific. So if you've decided to tour Tasmania in a rental car it's probably wise to pack a little cooling bag or esky for all the scrumptious chocolate you'll come away with after a Cadbury Factory tour. It's probably also wise to do a bit of walking in the form of shopping to work off those extra calories.

If Georgian buildings are your thing then don't miss the scenic capital of Tasmania. But the truth is that Hobart and Tasmania are actually fantastic tourist destinations because so much of this beautiful state is still wild and wonderful.

So the city has a really rich heritage, dating right back to the days of convict transportation. Further south of the city is Port Arthur which is brimming with historical buildings, ruins and restored period housing.

You could also consider planning your trip around the Sydney to Hobart yacht race and take in all the fun and excitement of the race atmosphere as they cross the finish line. Because of its popularity, make sure to book your rental well in advance.
