Local knowledge for Hobart

Where to stay

Most hostels cluster near Sullivan's Cove and Salamanca Place, which puts you close to the waterfront and the Saturday market. North Hobart on Elizabeth Street is worth considering if you want cheaper meals and bars within walking distance of your bed.

Getting around

  • The MONA ferry departs from Brooke Street Pier and costs a reasonable fare return. It beats driving, saves the parking fee, and drops you at the museum door.
  • Salamanca Market runs Saturday mornings only. Go before 9am for the produce stalls. After 10am the crowd makes it more of a shuffle than a browse.
  • Metro Tasmania's airport route (route 40X) gets you from the airport to the city center for a fraction of what a taxi costs. The taxi rank outside arrivals will charge you ten times that.

When to go

April and May are the sweet spot for hostel prices. December through January fills up fast with Australian summer holidaymakers, and June books out again for Dark Mofo, so plan ahead for either window.
