Best Cities to Visit in Tasmania
- Cole’s Bay: Known for the pink granite cliffs overlooking Oyster Bay, this seaside village in eastern Tasmania also features Wineglass Bay, Honeymoon Bay and Freycinet National Park. Enjoy the water with kayak tours and eco-cruises or stay on land for a winery tour and delectable local cuisine.
- Launceston: In Tasmania’s second-largest town, visit restored colonial buildings and exquisite public squares and parks. Explore the hiking trails, cliffs, cascades and gardens of Cataract Gorge. Enjoy the lagoons of the Tamar Island Wetlands and see swans, ducks and pelicans.
- Strahan: Despite its remote location on the west coast, this charming port town is fast becoming one of Tasmania’s most visited gems. Explore the quaint and colorful waterfront, the beaches and the sand dunes. Take a cruise down the Gordon River through untouched rainforest or a trip on the West Coast Wilderness Railway past some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world.
Winter in Tasmania
While The Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis, can be spotted year-round, winter is the best time to see them, and Burny Island is an excellent viewing spot. Take the Enchanted Walk through the glittering and frosty Cradle Mountain-Mount St. Claire Park. Enjoy the singing and drumming to wake up the apple trees during the Huon Valley Mid-Winter Fest. And in the former penal colony Port Arthur, the famed Ghost Tour on a bleak winter’s day will truly send chills down your spine.

We hired a 7 seater SUV for our holiday around Tasmania. The vehicle met our needs perfectly & was clean & new.
We booked online & the process & payment was easy & communication/confirmation was great.
The collection/drop off system at Hobart airport could not have been easier.
We will definitely hire from Sixt again.
