Destacados

Incluye

Itinerario

1. Soak up the elegance, beauty and history of this quiet and exclusive area that was once farmland known as Cottage Green. This tour includes Arthurs Circus and is full of stories including dubious property dealings by Governor Arthur, the fall of the carousing Reverend Knopwood and the ship building tycoon Alexander MacGregor whose finest of grand Georgian homes still stands today. Battery Point is best appreciated at a leisurely pace on foot with a guide who can bring to life how wealth flowed into Battery Point from the influx of trade and the British Royal Navy shipping timber, wool and rum from the Salamanca docks and warehouses. This easy walking tour starts at Parliament House and ends in Salamanca Square. Don't forget to ask your guide for recommendations for places you can go after the tour to buy souvenirs, food and beverages.

About Hobart

Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a harbour city of sandstone warehouses and colonial cottages beneath the slopes of Mount Wellington.

Hobart sits where the Derwent River widens into a deep harbour, with Mount Wellington rising behind it to more than 1,200 metres, often dusted with snow in winter. Founded in 1804, it is the second-oldest of Australia's capital cities. The sandstone warehouses of Salamanca Place, the cottages of Battery Point and the yachts moored at Constitution Dock give the waterfront its character.

Top-ranked sights in Hobart: Bruny Island, Richmond Village, Mt. Wellington (Kunanyi).
