Queenstown is renowned for the numerous adventures it has to offer, but there is so much more to this beautiful city. Queenstown is a sophisticated holiday resort set in the magnificent landscapes of the Southern Alps of New Zealand. Born as an 1860’s goldmining camp, 140 years later Queenstown has a compact and sophisticated downtown area tucked into a picturesque bay on the shores of LakeWakatipu. Dwarfed by the surrounding mountains, there are amasing views from everywhere. There’s also a permanent buzz in the downtown area where you’ll find a lively café/bar scene and excellent shopping. If having an unbeatable list of activities isn't enough, any one of the wide range of events on offer in this region could prove an irresistible attraction. Having four distinct seasons, the locals don't let any one go by without a celebration or two. Dusk to dawn, Queenstown rarely sleeps. Sophisticated wine bars, live jazz, top DJ’s, long summer nights in a garden bar serving locally brewed beer or après ski in front of a roaring log fire, there’s more than 160 licensed bars and cafés in downtown Queenstown and the socialite is spoilt for choice all year round, any night of the week.
