Tasmania is a small island state in Australia and is well known for its incredible beaches, wildlife, national parks, and, well, everything nature-related.

It might be Australia’s smallest state, but it certainly packs a punch and you’ll find there are plenty of great places to visit in Tasmania.

With historic towns, World Heritage Listed wilderness areas, pristine beaches, rugged coastline, gorgeous mountains, hiking, wildlife, and a terrific food and wine industry – there are so many destinations to add to your Tasmania itinerary.

But if you’re not sure where to visit or what places to check out, don’t worry, as we have all the top places in Tasmania to visit below!

Getting Around Tasmania

But first, let’s quickly talk about how to get to these places in Tasmania so you can start mapping out your itinerary.

We took our car over from Melbourne on the Spirit of Tasmania car ferry and spent a month driving around Tasmania. If you don’t take your own car, you can simply fly in and grab a rental car from the airport.

Doing a road trip is the best way to explore this Australian island.

Of course, you can fly in and just visit Hobart or Launceston over the weekend, but you would be missing out on the BEST of Tasmania. Our biggest tip for visiting Tasmania is to make sure you have plenty of time to see it… and do a road trip if you can.

How Long To Spend in Tasmania?

Give Tassie at least a week, this is the least amount of time you need to see the highlights and top destinations. If you have time to spare, we recommend you give it three weeks, if you can, and get to know as many of the below places as possible.

Even though it’s a small state it does take longer to drive around than you’d anticipate, so don’t rush. In fact, we recommend you slow down so you can take more in.
