What should I prioritise on a first day in Hobart?

I have limited time and want a day that gives me a feel for Hobart without treating a long list of sights as a checklist.

    Choose one major indoor stop or one longer excursion for the rest of the day. The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery fits a city visit, while kunanyi / Mount Wellington or Mona needs a separate transport and timing plan. Check conditions and opening details before deciding.

    Walk the waterfront, Salamanca Place and Battery Point as one compact city route. If your visit includes Saturday, check the current Salamanca Market details and give it enough time to browse; on another day, the neighbourhood and waterfront still make sense as a walk.
