There are 19 national parks throughout the state, with the most famed being the mountainous Ben Lomond and Cradle Mountain National Parks, Freycinet National Park with its beachy coves and picturesque Wineglass Bay, the eucalyptus rainforest that makes up Mount Field National Park, and the coastal Tasman National Park.
Devonport, where the Spirit of Tasmania docks, is popular for penguin spotting and Hobart is full of art, craft beer, quality chocolate and cheese, and markets.
