Things to Do in Hobart

• Summit Mount Wellington. The trail takes on average three hours to complete and rewards hikers with breathtaking views of the city and landscape below.
• If you're an architecture buff, make sure you visit Battery Point. It's home to some of the oldest colonial buildings in the region and is full of quaint shops and cafes to help you refuel as you explore.
• Go to the Port Arthur Historic Site. It's an important national landmark that's believed to be haunted. If you're brave, sign up for the night tour and go ghost hunting.
• Watch a show at the theatre-royal. It first opened its doors to the public in 1837 and is one of Hobart's best-hidden gems. If you can't catch a performance, make some time in your itinerary for the 45-minute tours held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
