| Population: 202,000 Hobart is an active, cultural city under beautiful Mount Wellington and on the Derwent River. Known as “The Holiday Isle,” the unspoiled grandeur of Tasmania understandably creates the state’s large tourism industry. Hobart culture mixes the soul of the sea with youthful and modern city life, enriched with colonial heritage. Although the city and harbor are busy, the dramatic landscape and easy going atmosphere keeps this city lively yet laid back.
