Information brought to you by Lonely Planet

Australia's major airlines, as well as a host of smaller services, fly to Hobart, mostly from Australian state capitals and smaller Victorian cities. The only international flights are to and from Christchurch in New Zealand. Buses run from Hobart to most major towns around the state, although services can be sparse or non-existent on public holidays.

Renting a car is a pretty good idea in Hobart, particularly if you want to see the greater area as public transport can be a bit infrequent. There are heaps of rental firms in Hobart, so you shouldn't have much trouble getting a decent deal. Tasmania is one of the few places in the world where hitching is a plausible option - if you want to hitch a lift out of Hobart, catch a bus north to Bridgewater or east to Sorell for starters.
