Queenstown Travel Guide

Edit Section - Queenstown Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

Queenstown is the colorful, crisp centerpiece to New Zealand's South Island, serving as a destination in itself as well as an excellent jumping-off point to the many adventure-travel amazements that lie behind every mountain peak and along every fjord in New Zealand. Start in Queenstown if you want to go bungee jumping, trekking, boating, kayaking, cycling, or skiing, or just start there and stay there, relaxing by the cyrstal blue lakeshore with a glass of fine wine or microbrew, listening to top DJs and live jazz. Shopping is a favorite pasttime here (naturally, as the place is so tourist-centric; still, you can't help enjoying yourself): in addition to fine fashion boutiques and jewelry stores, there are, of course, many outdoor outfitters, serving up some of the best gear in the region. The spirit of adventure is very much in the brilliant, sunny air, therefore, but bring your sunscreen, since New Zealand's South Island is purportedly directly beneath the growing hole in the ozone.
