New Zealand Travel Guide
Queenstown sits on Lake Wakatipu's shore surrounded by the Southern Alps, and has built its reputation as the country's adventure-sports capital while also serving as the natural base for day trips to Milford Sound.
Best time to visit
December to February, New Zealand's summer, for the warmest weather, or June to August for skiing, since the seasons run opposite the Northern Hemisphere's.
