Museums in New Zealand

Out of all the museums in New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa should be at the top of your list. It is located in the capital city of Wellington and is the country's national museum. Both the architecture and the interior are very special.

To show that New Zealand has two different cultures, the ancient Maori culture and that of the European immigrants, the building is split into two separate parts, which merge together in the centre. This is to emphasize that both cultures are at the source from one indivisible country: New Zealand.

We also highly recommend visiting the Auckland City Art Gallery, Auckland War Memorial Museum, Ferrymead in Christchurch, Kauri Museum, Museum of Transport and Technology and Shantytown on the West Coast.

New Zealand's lakes

New Zealand has several beautiful lakes. Most were caused by the scouring effect of ice during the ice age and the melting of glacial ice. The clear blue colour of the water and the magical surroundings of mountains, should not be missed when you visit New Zealand.

Admire the clear waters of Lake Tekapo, see the flooded crater of Lake Taupo and spot special bird species around Lake Waikaremoana. By the way, did you also know that Lake Taupo is the largest lake in all of Australasia?

You can comfortably board a boat or hop in a kayak to discover all the secrets of New Zealand’s water world. In and around the lakes, it is possible to participate in various activities, such as fishing, swimming or hiking.
