Hamilton
Hamilton is the fourth largest city in New Zealand and has the longest river in the country running through it. With fine cuisine, cafes, cultural attractions, theatres, museums and art galleries, Waikato is a popular tourist destination.
Hot air ballooning is prominent in Waikato, although if you are looking for something more exhilarating, try underground rafting at the Waitomo caves. For the movie buffs, a look at Hobbiton is essential, discovering the remains from the blockbuster trilogy, Lord of the Rings.
