Hobart has a distinctly European look and feel, and a unique local character. The Capital of Australia’s Island State, with Mt. Wellington as its backdrop, it has plenty to offer the adventurous and the inquisitive. There are numerous cafés and boutiques to explore, but to learn more about the area’s history and culture, take a walking tour of Battery Point. Led by a local guide, these tours allow visitors to take in the picturesque surroundings of the historic precinct, while learning about its inhabitants and heritage. The Museum of Old and New Art, MONA, is located on the grounds of the Moorilla Winery on the outskirts of Hobart. This fascinating, and sometimes risqué, gallery is home to over 400 works of art from founder David Walsh’s private collection. As a highly acclaimed attraction, MONA has been likened to Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens offer visitors 14 hectares of landscaped natural beauty, made up of flora from all over the world. This makes for a tranquil escape from the city – it’s the ideal locale for a romantic stroll or some quiet reflection. The evening is free for you to enjoy Queen Elizabeth’s onboard facilities while moored in Hobart, watching the sun sink into the Derwent River behind the Tasman Bridge.

This morning, head to Salamanca Place, where you’ll find the bustling Salamanca Market, which comes to life each Saturday.

It is the ideal place to pick up some locally made handicrafts or produce such as gin and honey before reboarding, ready to depart Hobart.
