Hobart is Australia's southernmost capital city; that it is also the smallest is the key to its particular charm. A river-side city with a busy harbour, its mountain backdrop offers fine views over the beautiful Georgian buildings, numerous parks and compact suburbs below.
Perhaps Australia's most stress-free and engaging city, Hobart belies the conservative and provincial reputation it has amongst some mainlanders. There's not a lot you won't find here; Hobart has a thriving festival scene and a real sense of history. For walking, eating and just soaking in the atmosphere it can't be bettered.
