Nestled in the heart of Hobart are the sheltered grounds, historic convict features, plant collections and significant trees of the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens - offering the best of Tasmania in one compact location.

At any time of year the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens encapsulates all that is wonderful about Tasmania in an experience to remember.

At 14 hectares the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are easily viewed over the course of a relaxed day. If your time is limited, you can tailor your walk to encompass your personal interests.

• Heritage: Take in the Garden’s most significant trees and heritage landscapes, the walks above the Lily Pond (6) are rewarding and can be coupled with a visit to other elements of our built heritage, the Friend’s Cottage (29) and two remarkable convict-built walls, named after Governors Arthur (31) and Eardley-Wilmot (42).
