Attractions in Queenstown, New Zealand    

Quick Summary: Queenstown is a resort town situated in the interior of the South Island of New Zealand. It was built around the Frankton Arm inlet of Lake Wakatipu. Consequently, a large portion of the town is on the waterfront. The Southern Alps and the aptly named Remarkables form a spectacularly scenic backdrop to the town which is known as the Adventure Capital of the World. Each season has its own attractions. Award winning wines are grown in the region and there is a thriving restaurant and hospitality industry. The area has an agricultural history with a brief gold rush recorded in the late 19th century.
