• Dark Mofo Festival. Returning from 11-22 June 2026, Hobart's midwinter festival Dark Mofo is a celebration of the dark through large-scale public art, food, music, fire, light, and noise, underpinned by the longest night of any Australian capital city.
  
• Salamanca Place and the Salamanca Markets. Winter is the perfect time of year for a romantic stroll through Hobart's famous weekend market. 
• Museum of Old and New Art (Mona).  A 'must visit' in Hobart at any time of year, Mona also offers three underground levels filled with a stunning array of art to explore on rainy days.
• Aurora Australis – the Southern Lights. The best time to see the magical Tasmanian aurora in Hobart is during the winter months, particularly June to August the days are shorter.
• New Cheese Wheel Pasta Experience at Tesoro. The hottest dish on Hobart’s dining scene, watch as one of Tesoro’s experienced chefs finish fresh house-made linguini in a 25 kilogram wheel of Italian Pecorino Romano. Cheese, pasta and flames – it’s the perfect recipe for a great winter feast.
• Warm up with a nip of Tasmanian Whisky. Tassie's growing spirits scene is world renowned. If you're short on time, our top favourites include Lark Distillery, Sullivan's Cove and Hartshorn Distillery or why not visit Hobart during the annual Tasmanian Whisky Week Festival.
• Take a day trip to a thermal pool. Hastings Caves and Thermal Springs is just 90 minutes from Hobart. Fed by an underground spring, the water is a perfect 28C all year round!
