When to visit

The best time to visit Hobart is during the summer months from December to February when the weather is warm and sunny. However, the city experiences four distinct seasons, so visitors can also enjoy the colorful autumn foliage in March to May, the winter festivals in June to August, and the spring blooms in September to November.

Getting around

Hobart is a walkable city with many attractions located within walking distance of each other. Visitors can also use public transportation such as buses and ferries to explore the city and its surrounding areas. Taxis and rideshare services are also available for convenient travel. For those looking to venture further out, car rentals are a popular option.

Take a scenic drive along the coast to discover hidden beaches and charming seaside towns. Check out the events calendar for festivals and events happening during your visit. Respect the local wildlife and follow guidelines for interacting with animals in their natural habitats.
