QUALITY OF LIFE? HOBART IS THE ANSWER

After Sydney, Hobart, founded in 1804 by Colonel David Collins, is the oldest city in Australia. The city’s stone buildings, built in the early years, have now been converted into cafes, art galleries, and restaurants. Located at the foot of Mount Wellington, with a population of 190,000 inhabitants, it has an incomparable quality of life and is more relaxed than other Australian cities.

Hobart is known worldwide for the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, which starts in Sydney the day after Christmas (Boxing Day). People celebrate the arrival of the boats in Hobart during the Taste of Tasmania Festival, a summer food festival that runs from the last week of December until the beginning of January.
