World Travel Guide Oceania New Zealand Attractions

Picture choosen by: Mrs.Rosy Black Places to visit in New Zealand Many people find it difficult when comes to how to plan and arrange their visit to New Zealand.

The following is a briefing of all the nice places in New Zealand to help you gain a general idea of where to go.

North Island

Northland
History, sea and forest are the theme of this region. The most beloved sight in this area is the Bay of Islands. Nevertheless, Northland is also the origin of this country's European history and the stronghold of Maori for centuries.

There are two main routes through this region: State Highway 1 from Auckland To Paihia and on to Kaitaia; or the western route through Dargaville and the Waipoua Kauri Forest.

A speedy ride from Auckland to Paihia is about 3 hours, and it's possible to be back in the following day with a quick visit to its highlights. However, a 4 – 6days' stay is advisable.

Auckland
Many mistook Auckland as little things to offer. This land may be the best place for you to recover from jetlag and it's not for nothing that it is called the city of sails.

Auckland is, above all else a maritime city. It is built astride a narrow isthmus that bridges two coasts: the Tasman Sea to the west, and the Pacific Ocean to the east. The isthmus itself enfolds two magnificent harbours - the Manukau and its more famous twin, the Waitemata Harbour.

Coromandel Peninsula
Coromandel Peninsula, a rough place, is the dream land for real travellers. If you concentrate on the comfort of your trip, then avoid it.

There are bays and beaches here that one wants do nothing but sit and stare. Aside from this, Coromandel is also good for two things in particular – the gems and crafts.

Gisborne and East Cape
Bored with the madding crowd? Wanna get lost in a while? This lonely beach may always be the place for you. And because the International Date Line is not far out to the sea, it becomes the first place to see the sun each new-dawned day.

You start on the road, State Highway 35, at Opotiki and after rounding East Cape end at Gisborne 330 km later. But don't rush the journey, enjoy the scenery on the way.
Wellington
In the past, Wellington was simply a stop on the way from North to the South, even not worth driving pass by. Now, it becomes the capital with tall towers of a gleaming glass that buzzes by night.

The main attraction is the Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa which simply known as ‘Te Papa' also. And it not so much what they show but the way it has been presented.

Either in town or outside town, Wellington offers far more things for its visitors to explore. More information is available at www.wellingtonnz.com .

South Island

Marlborough
It is the wine and food capital of the country. Each year you can find Marlborough Wine and Food Festival on the foodie calendar.

But this is not the only reason made Marlborough that popular. It is also has a large variety of outdoor activities, especially at Kaikoura, somewhat south of the region towards Christchurch.

Canterbury
Canterbury, in certain degrees, has been described as a garden city more English than England.

Settled in an olderly way by a cross-setion of the English class system, Christchurch was built as a snippet of The Old Country transported in England. As ex-patriots are inclined, it became Super-English.

Wanaka
Wanaka, though not as developed as Queenstown, also has the considerable attraction.

Winter time is in particular popular because of two fantastic skifields, Cardrona and Treble Cone. While in summer the lake and the nearby Aspiring National Park take centre stage.

Queenstown and Central Otago
“The Adventure Center of the South Pacific” Queenstown and Central Otago is a region of amazing alpine scenery and impressive landscapes. As the inceasing tourists, it did change , somehow it remains its essential village atmosphere. But if you long for something quiet, Wanaka can be the right place.

Southland and Stewart Island
Southland is more suitable for those who like to drift around where others seldom come to. There are three reasons to go to Southland. Stewart Island, oysters and the tuataras.
