Hobart's Waterfront
One of the finest deepwater ports in the world and a waterfront is at Hobart.  Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery line the waterfront.  In Salamanca Place, the Kelly's Steps lead to the suburb of Battery Point.  If you're hungry, dine out at a seafood restaurant or purchase your meal live from local fishermen near Hobart's Constitution Dock.  To the northern end of the waterfront is the Gasworks Village.  The craft shops and galleries are along with Australia's only commercial whiskey distillery.  Also several pubs lining the Hobart Waterfront include the historic Customs House Hotel are there.  The Parliament House is located between the docks and Salamanca Place, occasionally open for public viewing.  Hobart's waterfront is only about five-minute-walk from the centre of the city.

Glenorchy & Northern Suburbs
Glenorchy borders the northern edges of Hobart and forms part of the Greater Hobart area.  Go to the Glenorchy Aquatic Leisure Centre in the city centre, and the Tasmanian Transport Museum where you can find old trams and trains.  In Glenorchy, the Royal Hobart Show grounds, the Elwick Racecourse and the Derwent Entertainment Centre (DEC) are the three state's premiere entertainment venues.  Head to the north at Claremont are the Australia's largest chocolate factory, Cadbury Schweppes and  Alpenrail which is the largest and most realistic model train setup in Australia.  Looking for good wine? -- visit Moorilla Estate (one of the Tasmania's oldest vineyards) which is located at Berriedale.  At the suburb of Lutana, you can  find one of the larger zinc refineries in the world, the Electrolytic Zinc works.

Clarence & the Eastern Shore
Clarence is a city on the eastern shore of the Derwent River.  Hobart Airport is located on the eastern shore at Cambridge.  Bellerive is a fort located on Kangoroo Bluff, overlooking the Derwent River and Mt. Wellington.  Bellerive Oval is the location for international cricket matches held in Tasmania.  Higher up the Derwent River is Risdon Cove.  There are three vineyards - Crosswinds, Orani, and  Palmara - on the eastern shore.  The Baskerville Raceway (motor racing) is located at Brigewater, one of the three main spots below the Derwent headwaters where cars cross the river.  Nearby Brighton is the Bonorong Wildlife Park which features wombats, koalas, Tasmanian devils, and kangaroos.  Some of the region's best beaches including the Seven Mile Beach Protected Area are in the South of the Clarence-Bellerive area.  Surfers should not miss good surf beaches at South Arm and Clifton Beach which is just some distance away from the city.

Hobart's Southern Suburbs
The southern suburbs of Hobart include Sandy Bay, Mt. Nelson and Taroona.  The University of Tasmania's largest campus is at Sanday Bay, one of Hobart's more upscale suburbs.  Near the University, Wrest Point, Australia's first casino is located as is the Royal Yacht Club which hosts the Tasmanian end of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.  The Signal Station on Mount Nelson (the site of the south's largest senior secondary college) was established early last century as a relay point for communications from the Channel area to Hobart. The station affords excellent views across the river and has dining facilities.  Adjoining the Signal Station is Truganini Reserve which has a walking track to Taroona which is one of Hobart's outer suburbs and features a model Tudor village and the Shot Tower.
