Hobart (HBA) Flights as low as AU$72

Hobart is having a moment. Tourists are pouring in, beer is pouring out and life is good. Modern art exhibits are bringing newfound recognition—for better or worse—and farm-fresh produce is paving the way for an exploding foodie scene. Also, Tasmanian Devils. What more could you want?

If you’re ready for adventure in the Tasmanian capital, lastminute.com.au is ready with cheap flights to Hobart.

Getting Around Hobart

You’re about 18km east of the city centre when you land at Hobart International Airport (HBA). The Airporter Shuttle or taxis will take you straight to Hobart accommodation, but the best way to see the sights is to look into the awesome car hire deals on lastminute.com.au.

When You Land…

Those on early flights to Hobart can while away the wee hours in the cafes near Salamanca Place or Franklin Wharf. Once 9:30 rolls around, hop on the ferry to the Museum of Old and New Art. It’s funded by a professional gambler-turned-art collector and features exhibits like “The Sh*t Machine”—don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Afternoon arrivals can check out the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, a somewhat more traditional museum—although it does still have plenty of taxidermied animals, including the Tasmanian tiger. Cool, huh?

Travellers taking Hobart flights touching down at night will quickly discover that “pub” is the name of the game. But with historic breweries and world-class wines, this city takes its drinking game to a new level.

Live Like a Local

If you find yourself dragging out of bed on a Saturday feeling like Mike Tyson just clocked you, get your butt to brekkie and stuff yourself silly with porridge, sausage and brioche. You’re cured!

We know the cure for your travel bug, too. Bundle your airfare and hotel with lastminue.com.au’s Hobart packages and you’ll feel like a real genius. Almost as smart as the guy who created an art exhibit that turns food into faecal matter. Almost.
