Hobart was the Australia stop I nearly did not choose. Looking back, I am glad it made the itinerary.
Not the obvious pick.
I went in with fewer expectations than I had for other Australian cities. Hobart turned out to have a distinct atmosphere that was easy to enjoy at our own pace.
Between the waterfront, Tasmania’s landscapes and places such as MONA and the wildlife encounters, it felt unlike the larger cities on the trip.

Of the Australian cities we visited, Hobart is the one I find myself wanting to return to.
Sometimes the backup stop becomes the favourite.← Back to all stories
