Cycling in Hobart This Spring

Cycling is a great way to explore Hobart. If you're feeling adventurous, why not embark on a spontaneous cycling tour? 🌟Cycling Highlights: ✅Mount Wellington: Tasmania's highest point and a great spot to watch the sunset. The gentle slope makes it an easy ride, and the summit offers breathtaking views of Hobart. ✅Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens: The largest botanical gardens in the area, with free admission. Discover unique Australian flora, including stunning displays of roses and rhododendrons. ✅Salamanca Market: The largest market in the Southern Hemisphere, open only on Saturdays. Indulge in Bruny Island oysters, lavender ice cream, and find unique Australian souvenirs. ✅Cascade Brewery: A 200-year-old brewery with the extinct Tasmanian tiger as its logo. Learn about the brewing process from a guide and enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant. ✅Mona (Museum of Old and New Art): The largest museum in the Southern Hemisphere and the final stop on your cycling tour. Explore several levels of bold and avant-garde art, allowing at least 3–4 hours for your visit. ✨Cycling Tips: ✅Bike rentals are available near Salamanca Market, with varying rental durations. Be aware that roads can be icy in winter, so cycling is not recommended during that season. ✅Hobart is a compact city, and if you stay within city limits, the longest cycling distance won't exceed 30 km. However, the terrain is hilly, which may not be suitable for beginner cyclists. ✅Hobart is the closest city to Antarctica, so even in summer, temperatures stay around 25 degrees Celsius. Expect strong winds and cooler temperatures in the mornings and evenings, so dress warmly. ✅A popular cycling route starts at City Hall and goes to Mona, taking about 2 hours round trip. Due to Mona's popularity, it's best to start early and visit the museum first. ✅For nature lovers, start at the wharf and cycle along Sandy Bay. Enjoy beautiful beaches and discover charming cafes along the way.
