Hobart is the largest city in Tasmania, and is also one of the most beautiful. It has a wide range of appeal that arises out of the diversity of its attractions.

A Campervan Hire Tasmania holiday is the best way to explore its beaches, waterways and stunning surrounds - you will not be disappointed, we guarantee it!

A former penal colony, Hobart is Australia's second oldest city and is steeped in history. Old heritage buildings and distinctive architecture add to the character of the place, and provide endless sightseeing opportunities in the city itself. If you're a nature fan, then head to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and in some of the hundreds of flower species spread throughout the expansive gardens. Hobart is essentially a port city, and the waterfront here is a chief attraction to tourists. Lined with plenty of restaurants and bars you can kick back and watch the port activities during the day, and then let loose and party during the evening before you retire to your campervan for the evening.
