Hobart ?
Good morning all,
so Im thinking about taking my parents on a day trip to Hobart. BUT, is it worth it ? Is there anything nice to check out for a couple in their early sixties ? Is the harbour nice ?
It will be ex Melbourne by the way so not that far.
Would appreciate any feedback you guys might have, positive or negative.
Have an awesome day

I don't know if it's worth going for the day though.
We'd definitely go back for a week and hire a car, properly explore all of Tasmania.

We went for a couple of days in June (not the best time, weather wise, although we fell lucky and had glorious sunshine although it was cold) and it really was beautiful.
I don't know if it's worth going for the day though.

Lovely historical city - there are plenty of historical buildings within the city; fantastic restaurants, especially around the harbour. The summit of Mount Wellington is only about half an hours drive from the CBD and on a clear day is well worth the trip, failing that Mount Nelson is just to the south and also has some good views. Botanical Gardens is lovely too - even to a non-gardener!

and you can get 'English Style fish and chips', Chip Butties, and bacon and egg pies made with real bacon and eggs in them.

Mate it feels like Brunswick.... But it's all walking distance to the most beautiful Countryside around. A fantastic place.
One look and I was smitten. Takes a lot for me to rave about a green vista. It's now top of my list as a retirement option. You'll love it, Guaranteed.
One sentence summation "Least plastic City in Australia"
I'll also add, it has to be the most under valued and under rated place in Aus ? Anyone agree ?
