New Zealand is an island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean. It's an exceptionally beautiful country with stunning diverse landscapes and it's no surprise that New Zealand is one of the world's most popular global travel destinations. As well as natural beauty spots there are many lovely and interesting towns in the country you should add to your list. Here are five of the best towns in New Zealand:
1. Christchurch - Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and for those who don't start your journey in Auckland then you're likely to land here. It's a beautiful and friendly city, as you walk around the streets you'll be amazed how peaceful the city is. Christchurch is known as the "Garden City" because of it's natural and photogenic beauty. One place that should be visited is the Botanical Gardens which was founded in 1863. There are lots of activities and attractions available here including museums and a thriving art and cultural scene.
2. Kaikoura - Kaikoura is a town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. It is located on State Highway 1 180 km north of Christchurch. Kaikoura is a special place of lush pastures and towering, snow covered peaks that fall to the sea. This rare magic continues just offshore where a deep undersea canyon combines with unusual sea currents to attract an extraordinary abundance of marine life, the most famous being the Sperm Whale.
3. Nelson - Nelson (the geographical centre of New Zealand) is a region renowned for warm sunshine, fine beaches, lakes, mountains and native forests. Nelson is an intimate, welcoming and friendly city. It is New Zealand's largest fishing port and the gateway to a major forestry and horticulture industry. Add to this the attraction of fine foods, superb wines, an innovative craft industry, spectacular scenery and friendly Kiwi hospitality and you can understand why Nelson is a place to which visitors flock all year round.
4. Queenstown - for true adrenalin seekers Queenstown will be their ultimate destination. Almost every extreme sport you can think of is available here and the international resort attracts people from all over the world who want to skydive, bungee jump or go snowboarding. The Shotover River in Queenstown is now home to the Shotover Jet an incredible and unique vehicle which skids along the river surface.
5. Dunedin - Situated on the south-eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, Dunedin has a population of around 125,000 and is the main centre of Otago, region recognized for its spectacular scenery. Dunedin is definitely regarded as a beauty spot with dramatic bush-covered hills and valleys at the head of a long natural harbour which attracted Maori settlers to the site over four centuries ago.
