Hobart

Hobart, Australia
Nestled at the foot of Tasmania's towering Mount Wellington, Hobart is one of the world's most picturesque capital cities. Founded in 1802, Hobart retains the flavor and charm of a small town from a more leisurely era. Walk the streets of this charming city and you'll discover mansions that are fine examples of classic Georgian and Victorian architecture, small cottages, and unique shops and galleries (many of which, your guide might point out, were built by convicts imported from England) Stroll across the oldest road bridge in Australia - Richmond Bridge - and finish the tour with a little tucker and a pint at a local pub.
