Mount Wellington provides a scenic backdrop for Tasmania’s largest city and Australia’s southernmost capital. A festive and lively spot, Hobart has a population of 200,000. Perched on the island's southeastern coast, Hobart is a prosperous city where 19th-century waterfront warehouses, now converted into cafes, restaurants and studios, look out over a bustling harbor full of yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, a vibrant nightlife and a leisurely pace add to its considerable charm.
