Blundstone Arena
With a capacity of 19,500, this hosts the Tasmania State cricket team, Hobart Hurricanes in Big Bash T20 cricket league, and in winter is a secondary ground for North Melbourne AFL.
The historic site was built for Hobart's defence after Russian warships appeared in the harbour in 1873.
Established in 1818 within the grounds of The Domain. The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens showcase 6,500 species, including over 400 Tasmanian species. One of the most popular displays here is the Subantarctic Plant House, which contains subantarctic plant species collected by staff from Macquarie Island and is climate controlled to mimic cold high latitude environments. Other collections include traditional Japanese and Chinese gardens, a rain garden, a lily pond and the Tasmanian Fernery.
This oak-lined public space in Central Hobart is named after the explorer Sir John Franklin. Between voyages, he served as Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land (as Tasmania was then known) from 1837 to 1843. The centrepiece of the park is a statue of him, with an epitaph by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
The Domain
Walk from the city a few blocks towards the Tasman bridge and you'll suddenly be out of the city and amongst greenery and trees on the Domain. (Head towards the bridge from the city but once you see greenery head up the hill towards it.) Of note is the fact that you can always be sure to see plenty of parrots in the trees. They are relatively tame so it's a superb opportunity to see some brightly coloured parrots up close.
Established in 2000, the Federation Concert Hall is home to the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. The concert hall is an international standard venue and one of Hobart's premier entertainment venues. It is connected to the adjacent Hotel Grand Chancellor, with a 1100-seat capacity in the hall and also additional conference and exhibition rooms.
