The city of Hamilton is bisected by the mighty Waikato River, which is best appreciated from the deck of a classic paddle steamer. While the trees and riverbank suburbs glide by, you can learn about the city’s history and special attractions. At Hamilton Gardens there are themed displays of trees, flowers and exotic plants to enjoy at any time of the year. Other city highlights include the Waikato Museum of Contemporary Art and History and the zoo, which provides native birds with enormous freedom in a walk-through free flight aviary. Sport is a major obsession in Hamilton - see if you can catch a match at Waikato Stadium.
Functional facts: Approx. population 132,000, i-SITE Visitors Centre, international and domestic airport.
