Tour Overview
Hobart, the capital of Tasmania and one of the world's top ten must-visit cities, is located at the mouth of the Derwent River. Founded in 1803, it's Australia's second-oldest city. A small yet charming city, Hobart blends modernity with history. Stroll through the city streets with a Chinese-speaking guide to discover its magic.
One of Hobart's most famous attractions is the 19th-century waterfront warehouses, once bustling with whalers, soldiers, petty bureaucrats, and speculators. Today, the city is home to a diverse array of cafes, restaurants, and music studios, bustling with shoppers and tourists. In Hobart, the warm-colored sandstone stands out against the vibrant swirls of spinnaker sails. Fishermen's boats sit quietly at the docks, their halyards clacking against their masts. Enjoy a cup of coffee under a blooming Salamanca umbrella. Every Saturday, visit the famous Salamanca Market.

▲ Salamanca Square
Salamanca Square is surrounded by 1830s Georgian sandstone warehouses. These north-facing warehouses once stored grain, woolen textiles, whale oil, apples, and imported goods from around the world. Today, you can stroll beneath the solemn stone arches and browse craft shops, jewelry stores, cafes, restaurants, the Peacock Theatre, a basement library, and fashion stores. Or, you can climb the stairs to visit the Salamanca Arts Centre and artists' galleries.
▲ Mt. Wellington
The approximately 21-kilometer drive to the summit of Mt. Wellington passes through temperate rainforests, subalpine vegetation, and glacial rock formations. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of Hobart, Bruny Island, the South Arm, and the Tasman Peninsula. The hilltop interpretation center offers protection from strong winds, and a spacious viewing platform west of the parking lot offers sweeping views of the World Heritage area to the south.
▲Richmond
Home to Australia's oldest stone arch bridge and a Roman Catholic church, Richmond is best explored on foot. Generations of artists and artisans have been drawn to the town, and their works can be found in galleries and cafes. Walk across Australia's oldest bridge, built by convict labor between 1823 and 1825. Stand in the cells of Richmond Gaol, Australia's oldest prison, and glimpse the hardships of early convicts on Vendimian Island (Tasmania). Or visit St. John's Church, Australia's oldest surviving Catholic church, built in 1836.
