Queenstown is a fabulous old mining town that is definitely worth a visit...or two. The last part of the drive into the town from the south is spectacular and definitely worth the 3.5-hour trip from Hobart. Surrounded by stunning hills and mountains, there is plenty to do in Queenstown such as catching the West Coast Railway through lush rainforest to Strahan, mountain bike riding, bushwalking, catching a movie or show at the iconic Paragon Theatre, or attending the annual Unconformity each October. If you really want to soak up the atmosphere, stay a night or two in the gorgeous old Empire Hotel, marvel at its beautiful Tasmanian Blackwood staircase, and well-preserved rooms, enjoy the hospitality of the friendly staff, enjoy a fabulous meal in the dining room, all right in the centre of town. Excellent value for money.
