Hobart (Tasmania)

Australia

"Harbor Charm, Wild Nature & MONA"

Set on the Derwent River beneath kunanyi/Mount Wellington, Hobart is Australia's second-oldest city. Sandstone warehouses at Salamanca Place host the famous Saturday market, while MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, draws visitors by ferry. The summit of kunanyi offers sweeping views, and day trips reach the convict site at Port Arthur, Bruny Island's wildlife and produce, and the white sands of Wineglass Bay in Freycinet National Park. Fresh seafood, whisky, and cool-climate wines are highlights.
