Overview

The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens is the second oldest botanical gardens in Australia, after the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. Located within the Queens Domain - north-east of Hobart, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens was established way back in 1818 and is considered to be a top attraction in Hobart. The gardens span across a massive land area of around 14 hectares and is home to a wide range of historic plant collections as well as conservation collections of Tasmanian plants. The walking trails take visitors through various sections of the garden, offering spectacular views of flowering plants of dazzling colour and enchanting ponds along the way. A separate visitor centre at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens offers guests a souvenir shop and gallery, and is worth a stop.
