TRAVEL | Our Guide to Hobart

Tasmania’s Hobart is a destination of exploration and discovery. It’s the kind of place you instantly feel you need to return to, because once you’re there you realise how much more there is to uncover. The town itself is surrounded by beautiful scenery and filled with immense culture and fresh produce. From boutique shopping to daring art, today we share some of our favourite Hobart experiences.

Carefully curated by designer Lucy Given, LUC. Design is the go-to store for well-designed products. With its range of exquisite homewares, furniture, art and fashion, we highly recommend leaving extra room in your suitcase.
