With an estimated population of 70,000, it’s one of Australia’s oldest cities and excellently preserved.
Simply stroll along its streets and you’ll see classic Colonial and Victorian architecture − taking you back to the 1800s where it was a European settlement.
Situated near the city is the Tasmania Zoo, recognised for its wildlife conservation efforts and a breeding program for Tasmanian devils.
If you’re keen on seeing more wildlife, explore the nearby Narawntapu National Park, as well as Mt William National Park in the North East.
