Getting There & Around
To reach Port Arthur, fly into the Hobart International Airport. While there is ground transportation available, most hire a vehicle to get to the town, a trip that takes about 90 minutes.
Once visitors obtain their vehicle, they follow the Tasman and Arthur Highways, which form part of the Convict Trail Touring Route. Watch for animals crossing the road, especially at night. Considering that the town itself is an attraction, visitors can also walk to reach most of the sites.
