TOP SEAFOOD EXPERIENCES

Hobart’s waterfront is an easy five-minute walk from the city centre. Just follow roads like Campbell, Argyle, Elizabeth and Murray streets in a south-easterly direction until you arrive at the seaside.

The waterfront along Morrison Street and Franklin Wharf is particularly pedestrian-friendly, with wide foot and bike paths, slow traffic and right of way given to pedestrians on a network of zebra crossings. Traffic lights in this area have audio-tactile controls. 

You can also access the waterfront with a range of public and private transport options. Ubers and taxis are readily available, particularly near Salamanca and Parliament House. The main metro bus mall in Hobart is a few blocks up Elizabeth Street, near Franklin Square. Macquarie, Davey and Campbell Streets have bus stops close to the harbour.

Hop-on, hop-off Red Decker Bus Tours to iconic Hobart sites depart just outside Brooke Street Pier, and pre-booked boats come and go from the quirky museum, Mona. The Derwent Ferry also regularly departs from this pier, cutting across the river to Bellerive – the home of Bellerive Oval, also known as Blundstone Arena. 

At Constitution Dock, please note that the ramps among the boat moorings do not have handrails. They vary in width and ease of access so please take care when navigating the area. For more helpful information, visit the friendly staff at the Information Centre on the corner of Davey and Elizabeth Streets or visit hobartcity.com.au. Call ahead to individual businesses for more accessibility information.
