Battery Point
A 19th-century colonial neighborhood above Salamanca Place, with intact Georgian cottages and Arthur Circus, making it Hobart's most charming place for a stroll.
Battery Point takes its name from a gun battery set up here in 1818, and it was once home to sailors, fishermen and merchants. Climbing Kelly's Steps beside Salamanca Place brings you into a maze of winding lanes, and the Georgian cottages around Arthur Circus look like an English village. The neighborhood has the Narryna Heritage Museum, a small church and several brunch cafés. A walk takes 1 to 1.5 hours, it's free, and it pairs well with the Salamanca Market for a half-day outing.
