Perched on Tasmania’s southeastern coast, the lively city of Hobart is a unique mash-up of the 19th and 21st centuries. The waterfront cafes, restaurants and studios of the largest city in Tasmania are housed in centuries-old converted warehouses that overlook a harbor bustling with yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, vibrant nightlife and leisurely daytime pace add to the city’s charm.

From the cannons at the front gate to the fermentation room on the top floor, this informative tour taught us about the secrets of beer making and the convict workers who enjoyed five 10 minute beer drinking sessions each day when the bell rang! Lucinda was a terrific guide.

Well worth a visit - just wished we'd had a bit more time as there was so much to see. The highlight was definitely The Thylacine Gallery on Level 1 - which contained some bones and fabulous old film of the now extinct Tasmanian Tiger. Also lots of interesting exhibits of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture.

6. Theatre Royal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 185 reviews
The Theatre Royal opened in 1837, with major additions in 1850 and 1890, and remains a living centre for the performing arts. It presents live theatre, contemporary music, dance and entertainment. Dubbed by Noel Coward "a dream of a theatre", the Theatre Royal is Australia's oldest working theatre and one of its most beautiful treasures.

We really enjoyed our tour of the Theatre Royal. The development is a most interesting blend of new and old. Hobart is so lucky to have kept the old theatre and its history intact. Our tour guide Kathy was enthusiastic and informative....she took us to all the nooks and crannies that, as a theatre goer, you would normally never get to see...she was also generous with her time and didn't rush.

I had assumed that it was going toy be a bit dull, and was going for the kids, but my husband and I ended up enjoying it as much as they did. Lots of things to see, and short ride on the steam train was definitely a highlight of the day.

Beautiful building if you like visiting and looking at history. Was enthralling having a look around and soaking up the history. You do not need to be religious to appreciate history. We found the Cathedral on a stroll and spent some time having a look.
