Introduction
Hobart is one of the most beautiful cities in Australia, but it’s also full of hidden gems. If you’re visiting the city for the first time or are just looking for something new to do, here’s my list of Hobart’s best-kept secrets:
Hobart is a beautiful city with a rich history and culture.
Hobart is a city in Tasmania, Australia. It is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania. Its waterfront along the River Derwent was ranked number one in Australia for urban regeneration by the Global Water Intelligence journal in 2014; it has also been ranked one of the world’s top 10 best cities for five consecutive years between 2010 and 2014.
But it also has some great little nooks and crannies that might not be obvious to the untrained eye.

The Hobart Historical Museum is home to a stunning collection of Tasmanian history and artefacts.
The Hobart Historical Museum is located on the city’s waterfront, and is a great place to learn about Tasmania’s rich history. The museum has been open since 1873, making it one of the oldest museums in Australia. It houses a collection of over 20,000 artefacts that tell stories about Tasmanian life throughout history–from convict transportation to modern day Tasmania.
The exhibits feature information about everything from Aboriginal culture and European settlement through to life during World War II. There are also interactive displays that allow visitors to explore what life was like on board ships crossing Bass Strait or working inside mines during those times periods (or any other time period). If you’re interested in learning more about Tasmania’s past then this museum should definitely be added onto your list!
It even has its own secret garden, which is one of the city’s most beloved treasures!
The hidden garden is one of Hobart’s most beloved treasures. It’s located right in the middle of the city and filled with flowers, plants and trees that make it a beautiful oasis in an otherwise busy area. It’s also a great place to sit down and relax while you take photos or just enjoy the scenery.
The Salamanca Markets are held at Salamanca Place every Sunday morning from 9am until 2pm.
The market is located in Hobart’s central business district, making it easy to reach by foot or public transport.
A range of food options are available including fresh fruit and vegetables, hot meals like pizza or kebabs and even ice cream! You’ll also find arts and crafts such as paintings on canvas or wood sculptures made locally by artists who have been operating businesses there for years (or even decades). Prices vary depending on what’s being sold but expect most items to cost between $5-$10 each – this includes some delicious cakes too!
They’re filled with delicious street food, freshly baked bread, flowers and plants, crafts and much more!
The market is a great place to buy fresh produce, find gifts and have lunch. It’s also a fantastic spot for people watching and taking a walk through the city center.
The best part about shopping at these markets is that you can get everything you need under one roof – from flowers and plants, through to breads and pastries!
Sydney Street Flats are located in a quiet part of Glenorchy, close to MONA but away from all the noise and crowds.
This property is perfect for those who want to enjoy Hobart’s best attractions without having to fight through crowds or deal with expensive accommodation prices.
The flat is affordable and offers great service, with stunning scenery surrounding you throughout your stay.
This boutique hotel offers stunning scenery and great service at an affordable price point (especially for Hobart!).
The location is ideal. It’s close enough to walk into town, but removed enough that you’ll have peace and quiet when you want it.
The rooms are simple but comfortable–the best way to describe them is “clean.” They have all the basics: bedding, towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom. If you’re looking for luxury amenities like robes or iPod docks then this isn’t your place; however if all you need is somewhere clean and comfy where you can get some good rest then The Tamarind Tree will not disappoint!
The food was delicious! Breakfast consisted of fruit salad with granola cereal topped with yogurt (I think?), breads from the bakery next door (which also serves lunch), cheese slices–and most importantly coffee from their own roaster! Lunch was equally tasty: grilled chicken sandwiches with fresh greens salad on homemade breads again from next door bakery…
When visiting Hobart, don’t forget to explore its hidden gems – they’ll surprise you with their beauty!
While Hobart is a beautiful city with a rich history and culture, it also has some great little nooks and crannies that might not be obvious to the untrained eye. If you’re visiting Hobart for the first time or just looking for something new to do in your hometown, here are some free things to do that will help you uncover Hobart’s hidden gems:
- Take advantage of free public spaces like parks and gardens. You can enjoy them at any time of year!
- Explore beaches like Battery Point Beach or Sandy Bay Beach if you want more sand than rocks underfoot (and lots of sun). These beaches aren’t too crowded either–they’re perfect for relaxing with friends or family on weekends when there isn’t much traffic around town because most people are still working during these hours…
Conclusion
