Welcome to the land of the Kiwis! Imposing glaciers flow into dense rainforests, extinct volcanoes rise in the hinterland and beaches, deserted and endlessly long, adorn the coasts: New Zealand is the dream of many travelers. Geographically, the country, which is 2,000 km away from Australia, is divided into two main islands: a South Island, which is shaped by the Southern Alps, and a more densely populated North Island, on which the capital, Wellington, and the largest city, Auckland, are located.
Nature lovers and culture enthusiasts rave about this remote and otherworldy destination: New Zealand's diverse landscape is home to the indigenous Maori people and backdrop to the world-famous Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films. Visit the most beautiful film locations and get inspired by the culture of the Kiwis.
Best time to travel: November to April
Flight time from Germany: approx. 24 hours
