There are a few arts and crafts galleries here, along with gift shops and restaurants. It's good for a peruse especially if you like old historic buildings, although Tasmania is filled with these things. It's not worth replacing another activity with this, but if you need to kill some time near the ward then have a wander.

Short walk after Salamanca stroll. Basically aiming the end of the street to see the stunning water and mountain across for photo taking then walk back pass the gorgeous park with lots of people on the grass reading books chilling. Nice garden with toilet.

If you enjoy walking then you may enjoy it, battery point is a very hilly area so it’s not a easy walk. Lots of lovely houses/mansions to see many with beautiful gardens at front.
Not a lot of sculptures but several are well done. I wouldn’t do it unless you are looking at doing something for a few hours.
Along the way options to buy food and drinks to rehydrate.

Battery Point was very nice and picturesque and great for a walk around. We had a beautiful winters afternoon to walk around in.
The area has lovely homes, coffee shops, lovely parks and restaurant's. It also has the judges box for the finishing line for the Sydney to Hobart yacht race (Castray Box)
It has some lovely views down to the Salamanca / dock area and out to the Derwent river. The area slopes down the waterfront so a lot of the walking is gently down hill.
We ended up in Salamanca where we found a café and had a coffee and tea.

We were staying at Battery Point and enjoyed the sculpture trail. It was a pleasant walk that provided an insight into the history of the area. Two great pieces of trivia were sculptures 313 - number of boats launched in the 1800s from Battery Point shipyards and 1909 - the year Errol Flynn birth at Sandy Bay. A further benefit was the option to stop for a coffee in Battery Point and a drink at Salamanca.

A lovely walk around Battery Point which looks like an exclusive part of Hobart. Did Kelly's Steps then walked around Battery Point Square gardens which were absolutely beautiful. A lovely part of Hobart.

Battery Point Trail walk is fabulous, combine it with Bobby's footsteps history walk which takes
you on a self guided tour through the streets of Battery point.
The land was granted to Bobby Knopwood in 1805 to build his home "Cottage Green" & to establish his outstanding gorgeous garden.
There are fourteen points of interests along the route. The cute timber / stone houses are absolutely delightful to view. I'm sure they must have a competition with who grows the best iceberg roses... the village is also very quaint and is a must do when in Hobart.

Once we realised we were not looking for stone/bronze/concrete sculptures per se, but in fact NUMBERS, we really enjoyed looking for them along this coastal/residential walk. The numbers signify a point of interest, a moment in history, an event. The information is given on a signboard and sometimes it’s quite quirky, eg 2000 tonnes of fruit daily to make the jam at this Factory! A most relaxing way to spend some time learning about Hobart.

I stayed in this area for 6 nights and it was a good area with the scene and the sense of old historic town. The transportation isn't quite convenient, but it's worth a visit. From there, you can walk to the beach and see Mt. Wellington from the area.

Battery point itself is a nice neighborhood so you could walk around and enjoy the buildings, the water fronts, and also on clear-days the view to Mt. Wellington. Salamanca market (only on Saturdays) and Salamanca place area is nice with plenty of diners and cafes. From Salamanca place you could easily walk to Brooke St Jetty areas. There is dedicated shuttle to go to Mt. Wellington which could be booked at the tourist information centre. If you go to information centre there is 'Tours Tasmania' company which provides many day tours option (start as early as 7-am pick up and return to Hobart in the evening round 6-7 pm, check out the brochure which is available there). Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is just very close to the information centre and it's free entry. If you would like to do some 'museum marathon', the Maritime museum (with entry fee) is also nearby and the Mawson's Hut (with entry fee) is right at the corner. Another option is the art museum MONA (also with entry fee for tickets and trip there could be via a dedicated ferry or shuttle, tickets could be purchased at their counter inside the Brooke St Jetty). Port Arthur is another good historical site but you might need to book a tour there combined with other destinations to seize the day (I tried the 'Port Arthur & Tassie Devils' day tour and quite like it). If you are into some walk-amongst-nature, visit the Royal Botanical gardens (1-2 hours inside is sufficient). My faves are the Japanese garden and the sub-arctic house. From inside the garden there is great view to the Tasman Bridge as well. Regarding the day-tour, I also like the 'Mt Field, Mt Wellington & Bonorong' day-tour, with some light range of walking inside the trails and a visit to Bonorong wildlife sanctuary. I hope you could use some ideas now to explore and enjoy Hobart.

Do you have a lift, please? I see one review mentions "lugging suitcase upstairs".
