The 5 Best Hop-On Hop-Off Tours in Hobart, Tasmania

January 21, 2022 Jasper Kershner

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.

We were looking for a self guided way to see Hobart in a day and this was great fun. Good value, especially if you use your 24 hour ticket for the full period and a great way to fill a day.
