There are definitely soooo many amazing places to go in Hobart. Port Arthur is one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been. 2-3 in Launceston is perfect to see it all but I love the laid back attitude there I always want to spend more time just sitting inside the bed and breakfast and enjoying a peaceful morning walk through the quaint city centre.

Launceston is very picturesque. But we ran out of things to do pretty fast. Hobart has a lot more going for it. Perhaps when visiting the state, reserve only 2-3 days for Launceston and spend the rest of the time down South (Hobart way).

I enjoyed visiting Ben Lomond (in July) when there was snow. That took up most of a day. Cataract George (about half a day) and the City (half a day). Next, City Park (morning visit) and then Penny Royal Adventures for a unique experience (half a day) on your way out of Launceston. These are the best locations in Launceston (from someone who has tried everything).

The highway down to Hobart has some cool little stop overs too, so be sure to stop in at the little villages. Hobart (the list is very big for things to do) including Eagle Hawk Neck (for beautiful beaches, or if you are flying out of Hobart, visit the beach right next to the airport instead). Port Arthur is a must! The Huon Valley (the place behind Tasmania’s nickname “The Apple Isle”) which also hosts the yearly mid-winter festival which is like nothing you’ll experience anywhere in the world. Another festival DARK MOFO is an interactive art experience held throughout the city and there are other events including a city murder mystery and Alice in Wonderland experience etc… dotted throughout the year. There are old museums to visit, art (MONA), just whatever you could want… oh and Hobart is on the water, making it so special.

So many unique experiences!

I couldn’t agree more! Honestly, Tasmania was my favourite part of all of Australia despite the fact it is the most under-visted. I couldn’t believe all the different landscapes you could explore all on one island. Launceston is the most charming town and the perfect place to visit for a peaceful step back in time. I hope you have a wonderful time!

That is a most helpful article as I will be visiting Launceston in a few months time. Tasmania is such a beautiful place and seeing that we can’t travel overseas is the first place people should be considering for travelling in Australia
