Visit one of the top Hobart attractions in the city, Tasman Bridge, which was completed in 1964 and is today an iconic landmark of the city, with its distinctive arches and white paint job. It is an important part of Hobart's infrastructure and serves as a major thoroughfare for commuters and tourists alike. The bridge offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding landscape, with panoramic vistas of the Derwent River, Mount Wellington, and the surrounding suburbs
