Queenstown's retail and shopping area is compact, covering a mere one square kilometre. Shops sell absolutely everything you can imagine - New Zealand souvenirs to leather and wool garments, to funky art pieces and items for the home.
Retail outlets are open seven days, due to tourist demand.
After you have 'shopped till you drop', why not treat yourself to a well-deserved bite at one of the many fine restaurants, takeaway outlets or foodcourts encompassing the city. You may also wish to relax and unwind while indulging in a leisurely walk through surrounding native forestry. Queenstown is a region of valleys, lakes and mountains and neighbours the world renowned Fiordland National Park. Enjoy a horse trek or mountain hike or tramp through alpine flowers and tussocks on one of the famous multi day walks. You can access Fiordland by either plane or car while marveling at untouched forestry, cascading waterfalls, towering peaks and other scenic attractions en route.
