Hobart Hotel map and travel info
Getting there
Planes, trains, automobiles, or maybe even helicopter – we tell you the best way to go.
- Planes
- Hobart International Airport is about 14 miles from the centre. Regular flights are available from most major cities in Australia (Melbourne's an hour away) with Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin Blue. You can take a bus from the airport and a shuttle service meets every flight. Since this includes drop-offs at numerous hotels, getting a taxi from the airport to your hotel may be quicker (around AU$25–AU$30 each way).
- Boats
- Ferries to Tasmania from the mainland are provided by Spirits of Tasmania (www.spiritoftasmania.com.au). Their service operates all year round, with daily departures between Station Pier in Port Melbourne and Devonport on Tasmania’s north coast. Onboard accommodation ranges from functional airline-style seating to private deluxe cabins, for optimum offshore comfort.
- Automobiles
- Most major car hire companies can be found at Hobart airport or in the city itself, including Hertz (www.hertz.com.au), Avis (www.avis.com.au) and Europcar (www.europcar.com). Although Hobart is small enough to navigate by foot, it’s definitely worth getting a car to explore the surrounding sights.
