2025 Hobart Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)
Hobart, the capital of Australian province Tasmania, is anything but devilish. Small and charming, Hobart lives by the water. The Derwent River winds through the city, just a few minutes walk from the docks where yachts and fishermen park and work. Fresh, local fish is available in many restaurants, while attractions tend towards the outdoors-y with open-air markets, cruises, and walks up Mt. Wellington is leading the pack.

Saint David's Cathedral in Hobart, Tasmania is a stone Gothic Revival cathedral designed by the famous Victorian architect George Frederick Bodley. The cathedral was built in the Gothic Revival style, and over the 68 years of construction it has remained true to the original design, including the stained glass windows, arcaded entrance, and impressive bell tower. The cathedral, the first in the province, is listed on the National Heritage List and has hosted many public ceremonies and events.

Henry Jones Art Hotel is a boutique hotel revitalised from a historic building in Hobart, Tasmania, which was once an IXL jam factory. In its heyday, it employed more than a thousand people and has a vibrant history, and the buildings have been kept as authentic as possible. It has now been transformed into a high-end hotel and art center.

It previously gained fame for hosting the famous Strings on Fire Queens candlelight concert.
How I spent 1 day in Hobart- MONA
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, I was amazed by the bold, unique design of the museum and its intriguing approach to art.
Itinerary & Highlights:
The museum itself is a fascinating blend of old and contemporary art, housed in a striking building that seems to rise from the ground. The collection is vast, with artworks ranging from ancient artifacts to thought-provoking modern installations. Some of the highlights include the *Eternal Return* exhibition, a large-scale installation that is both visually stunning and emotionally powerful, and *Cai Guo-Qiang's* explosive art that immediately grabs your attention.
The MONA Ferry Ride:
One of the best parts of the visit was taking the MONA ferry from Hobart’s waterfront. The ride itself offers beautiful views of the river and the city, adding a unique touch to the journey before even stepping foot inside the museum.
The Museum's Layout:
The interior of MONA is labyrinthine, with multiple levels and rooms that lead you to unexpected discoveries. It’s an art lover’s dream with installations that engage the senses in every direction. You’ll want to take your time, as there’s a lot to see, and each exhibit offers something different and thought-provoking. Don’t miss the Pharos, a rooftop bar with a fantastic view, ideal for a break to take in the scenery and reflect on the art.
Tips for Visiting:
Download the MONA App: (The O)The museum uses this app that provides information about each artwork and exhibit. It’s a great guide and enhances your experience by offering deeper insights into the pieces you're viewing.
Plan for at least 3-4 hours:There is so much to explore, so don’t rush. It’s definitely worth taking your time to appreciate the variety of art on display.
Wear comfortable shoes: The museum’s layout is quite expansive, and there’s a lot of walking involved.
Good Experience & Atmosphere:
What stands out about MONA is its atmosphere. It’s not just about viewing art, it’s about experiencing it. The museum encourages personal interpretation and fosters an open, immersive environment. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall. It’s not just a museum, but a place where art comes to life in unexpected ways. Whether you're an art aficionado or just curious, there’s something at MONA for everyone. Highly recommended!

Trip to Hobart, Australia 🇦🇺

Cuddly and I are from the Arctic, which is literally on the other side, but we wouldn't mind seeing Antarctica one day. I mean, it looks identical to home, just different residents!🐧
There was also a meditation room that mummy took a photo of, which had colourful screens of stars and galaxies. That and background music combined is like something out of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Beautiful visual with strange music.
We touched some ice that was brought in directly from Antarctica, and boy was it cold! Just how we like it! We had a chat with a lovely little girl while there, who is very smart with a vivid imagination. Imagination is always a good thing to have especially in museums. Everyone who visits Hobart should come here. It's interesting and fun!
