Queenstown ('QT') is a resort town and self-proclaimed 'Adventure Capital of the World' on New Zealand's South Island.

GEOGRAPHY

The town is built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu, a thin lake shaped like a staggered lightning bolt. There are awesome views of nearby mountains. The town is the largest center in Central Otago though for administrative purposes it is considered part of Southland.

CLIMBING

For a mountain town, there are many great hikes and places to climb, including the 2,819-meter Mount Earnslaw.

MARKETS

Creative Queenstown Arts and Crafts Markets
