The island state of Tasmania<\/a> is one of Australia\u2019s hottest destinations because it caters to a range of travellers and their different needs. Nature lovers can enjoy hiking around areas of outstanding natural beauty with frequent sightings of local wildlife and, while the foodies out there will be delighted by the fresh, seasonal produce on offer and high quality of restaurants and caf\u00e9s around the state. Art enthusiasts, we haven\u2019t forgotten about you – Tasmania has some sleek and modern art galleries – while history buffs are able to trace both the modern and natural history of the island state. You can have a holiday filled with utter luxury or travel on a shoe-string budget \u2013 either way, you\u2019re still going to have a good ol’ time. Here are some fun and fascinating things to do in Tasmania during your trip to this island state.<\/p>\n

Things to do in Hobart<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s kick things off with a visit to Tasmania\u2019s fantastic capital city, Hobart<\/a>. There are a lot of things to do in Hobart, no matter what your age, style of travelling or budget.<\/p>\n

Visit MONA<\/h3>\n

The Museum of Modern and New Art<\/a> is the largest privately funded gallery in Australia. Open since mid-2011, it mostly showcases the private art collection of David Walsh, a Tasmanian who struck it rich on the gambling circuit and created the museum as a way of giving back to the state (particularly as Tasmanians get free entry).<\/p>\n

Tip: try to time your visit to the capital with the\u00a0Dark Mofo Festival<\/a>. It runs for around ten days across the month of June (including the winter solstice) and is quickly becoming one of the country\u2019s most controversial celebrations of art and culture.<\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Check out the Salamanca Market<\/h3>\n

This outdoor market is held every Saturday in Hobart, right next to the waterfront. It showcases 300 stalls featuring everything from food to clothing, jewellery, handmade timbers and leather goods. If you like to shop locally and fancy bringing a little piece of Tasmania back home with you, Salamanca<\/a> is the place to go.<\/p>\n

Explore Battery Point<\/h3>\n

Battery Point is Hobart\u2019s oldest suburb and its prettiest too. Fun fact alert: it\u2019s also the birthplace of Hollywood Golden Age actor Errol Flynn. If you\u2019re on a budget and are looking for free things to do in Tasmania, exploring this part of Hobart should be up at the top of your list. The streets of Battery Point have remained largely unchanged since they were first built in the 1800s and early 1900s. Start your walk on Kelly\u2019s Steps at Salamanca Place, continue along to Arthur Circus where you\u2019ll find Hobart\u2019s oldest cottages and finish it in one of the many restaurants, pubs or tearooms scattered along the way.<\/p>\n

Eat at some of the fabulous restaurants in town<\/h3>\n

Hobart has a small, but an impressively good, restaurant and bar scene with the entire state of Tasmania slowly making a name for itself on the international food circuit. Sample some of the city\u2019s best at Al\u00f8ft<\/a> (gourmet eating with harbour views), Ettie\u2019s<\/a> (European bistro with cocktails), Templo<\/a> (a tiny wine bar with Italian-Australian dishes), or Dier Makr<\/a> (a boutique bistro and wine bar). If you\u2019re in the mood for dessert, head straight to Sweet Envy<\/a> to feast upon some mouth-watering cake.<\/p>\n

Climb to the top of Mount Wellington<\/h3>\n

Hobart lies in the shadow of Mount Wellington and it\u2019s possible to walk, pedal or drive to the top of the mountain (depending on your levels of motivation at the time). From here, you\u2019ll be rewarded with 360\u00b0 views of Hobart\u2019s urban sprawl and let me tell you, it\u2019s certainly worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Tip: remember to check the weather forecast before making your way up, as Mount Wellington can often be shrouded in clouds and it\u2019s even been known to snow in the summertime.<\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Have fish and chips on the pier<\/h3>\n

If these options are out of your budget, or you feel like a relaxed meal out in the elements, you should head straight to the pier. There are plenty of options for seafood here, from cold seafood platters to the humble fish and chips. Grabs some food, pull up a chair and enjoy the view.<\/p>\n

Grab a tipple at Cascade Brewery<\/h3>\n

Established in 1824, Cascade<\/a> is the oldest operating brewery in Australia. It\u2019s one of the most popular tourist attractions in Hobart, being only 4km from the city. If you are interested in the tour of the brewery be sure to book it prior to your trip. Alternatively, you can grab a tasting paddle, featuring a mixture of four beers and\/or ciders on offer – take them outside to drink and relax in the surrounding grounds.<\/p>\n

Find a hostel in Hobart<\/a><\/p>\n

Other things to do in Tasmania<\/h2>\n

There is, of course, a whole state to explore outside of Hobart. Here are some other places you should consider visiting during your time in Tasmania.<\/p>\n

Take a day trip to Port Arthur<\/h3>\n

Port Arthur has seen many incarnations, from a small settlement to convict site and now an open-air museum. It\u2019s also sadly the setting for the largest massacre in Australia\u2019s recent history, which occurred in 1996. It\u2019s around a 90-minute journey from Hobart \u2013driving by car is a popular option or alternatively, you can take an organised tour. Port Arthur is certainly a place in Tasmania that is worth visiting – there are guided tours on offer and scheduled talks throughout the various buildings on site. If you plan your visit for after dark, you can jump onto a ghost tour in the most active haunted place in Australia.<\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Explore Bruny Island<\/h3>\n

North and South Bruny Island are easily accessible from Hobart (less than two hours from the city) via car or coach, including travelling onboard the vehicle ferry. Apart from its rugged natural beauty, the real highlights of the island are the wildlife and produce. Penguins and seabirds call it home and it\u2019s possible to see seals and dolphins frolicking around the water\u2019s edge. You can also eat \u2018til your heart\u2019s content, particularly on freshly caught fish (Tasmania is a seafood lover\u2019s dream).<\/p>\n

Wander through Tasmazia and explore Lower Crackpot<\/h3>\n

Located in an area known as the \u201cPromised Land\u201d in the state\u2019s north, Tasmazia is home to the largest hedge maze in the southern hemisphere – now that\u2019s an impressive activity not to be missed, surely? In the heart of the maze lies \u201cLower Crackpot\u201d, a hilarious model village filled with terribly brilliant puns and celebrating Australian culture. This is a great destination for families but can also be a lot of fun exploring it as a single, couple or with a group of friends.<\/p>\n

Tip: Try to get there earlier rather than later and preferably on a weekday \u2013 if you fancy avoiding school-age crowds.<\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

Stroll around Cataract Gorge<\/h3>\n

Located just minutes from Launceston<\/a>\u2019s CBD, Cataract Gorge and First Basin are a natural marvel. The Gorge is home to a public park filled with walking and hiking trails, beautiful gardens and restaurants. You might even find yourself making some new friends with peacocks and wallabies wander the grounds. There\u2019s a suspension bridge, which leads to a lookout with stunning panoramic views. You can also travel across the world\u2019s longest single span chairlift and even take a dip in the local swimming pool (what a sight to see when doing laps). If you find yourself in Launny, it\u2019s well-worth dedicating a morning or afternoon to explore the park, particularly as it\u2019s free to enter.<\/p>\n

Visit Freycinet National Park and gaze upon Wineglass Bay<\/h3>\n

Freycinet may just be one of the most beautiful places in Tasmania, even with the stiff competition. It\u2019s an ideal destination for hiking and bird-watching. Keen walkers will be rewarded with gorgeous views from the Lookout of the park\u2019s most famous beach (which routinely makes its way onto the list of best beaches in Australia), Wineglass Bay. Entry to the park with a car will cost you $24. You can alternatively skip the park and jump on a cruise that will take you straight out to the bay, seeing plenty of wildlife (seabirds, seals and dolphins to name just a few) along the way.<\/p>\n

\"Things<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the best things to do in Tasmania, simply a taste of what the state has on offer. You\u2019ll be planning further trips to Tassie before you\u2019ve even stepped back on the plane (or perhaps the ferry if you\u2019re coming from Australia) home.<\/p>\n
