Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Hobart.
City Overview
Hobart is the capital of Tasmania and Australia’s southernmost capital — a historic port below Mount Wellington, famed for the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA). From a colonial port it has become a center of tourism, education, seafood and an Antarctic-research gateway (the Australian Antarctic Division HQ). Clean air, stunning nature and a relaxed pace, with mid-range costs and great safety. The economic, cultural and nature gateway of Tasmania.
