Most of the major attractions in Hobart that are well known are actually very close to the city of Hobart itself, but you do need to use local transport to get to these. A guide to some of the local attractions is:
Hobart to Mt Wellington (our most iconic city destination attraction) - 27 min via car (17.2 km)

Tasmanian Sightseeing Tours: Things to consider before Travelling
Just some of the things that you may like to consider on your Tasmanian sightseeing tours and travel before departing. Just in case you didn’t think of it because you are so busy wanting to get into the sightseeing tour experience.
Good Soled & Enclosed Shoes: Tasmania has a number of nature elements to its sightseeing tours where you will need or should have a good pair of walking shoes that help support your feet as they often traverse rocky or uneven ground. There are several shops in Tasmania’s major cities that can assist you with a purchase if you haven’t brought your own pair already.
Scarf or Wolen Beanie: Tasmania has some of the most unpredictable weather in Australia and it literally can be sunny one minute and then wet and raining the next minute. So we recommend that you have a good scarf to cut the wind chill factor and a beanie to keep those ears nice and warm. Especially if you are planning to get further out into the countryside or Mt Wellington or Cradle Mountain. This will help to make your sightseeing tours a pleasant experience and not one where you just want to get out of the cold.
