Australia's southernmost city and capital of its only island state, Hobart is a long way from most places and a good place to get away from it all. With a vibrancy and atmosphere that belies its geographical isolation, Hobart offers up a thriving travel scene, a palpable sense of history and a flourishing cultural arena. A riverside city with a mountain backdrop, Hobart is both picturesque in its own right and just a short journey away from some of Tasmania's spectacular scenery. Small enough to explore in a couple of days, drop in and taste life in the tiny capital before heading off to experience the beauty of the state's east coast, or the untamed wilderness of the west.
