See & Do
If the weather is good you can drive up to the top of Mount Wellington, where there are magnificent views over Hobart and the surrounding area. You can easily see the mountain from the city so all you need to do is have a look up and make sure that it is not covered in cloud. It can be very cold on top, even when it is warm in the city, so bring some warm gear with you. Make sure to stop at Lost Freight on your way down to warm up with a coffee/hot choccy, or Fern Tree Tavern for a pub lunch and something mulled.

MONA Museum of Old and New Art. World renowned private museum/art gallery. Also has a café, restaurant, winery, and brewery on-site. Art installations are very modern and cutting edge and some people can find them confronting (violent and sexual images). You can take a return boat cruise from the wharf in town to the museum and back; there’s a VIP package for the ferry that involves bubbles and a lounge if you’re feeling fancy.

This is a fantastic place to experience Tasmania’s native fauna up close. It’s a particularly good way to see the iconic Tasmanian Devil in a natural environment and can be especially interesting for non-Australians and children. They also do interactive night tours which are very popular, seeing as most of the animas are nocturnal; this costs a little more, but I hear it’s worth it.

If you are into bushwalking, the walks at the top of the escarpment, starting at Lake Dobson carpark, are spectacular. There are also some easier walks with lovely forest and waterfall views. You can also check out New Norfolk, a sweet little town with great antique shops, on your way there.
