About Hamilton
New Zealand's largest inland city, Hamilton started out as a hub for the farming industry and is now home to a world-class university, amazing botanical gardens, as well as a plethora of mouthwatering eateries.
The best way to see the city's picture-postcard riverside is from the deck of a classic paddle steamer. As glorious gardens and pathways glide by, you'll hear a tale of Hamilton's fascinating history as one of the North Island's major trading posts. To get an aerial and unlimited view, enjoy the unique landscape of New Zealand by taking a hot-air balloon trip around Hamilton and the Waikato region. But driving through the region is just so special. When you come into Hamilton Airport, you can get into a Budget rental. And while you’re on the road, make sure you pop into Hamilton Downtown, they’ve got some great places to eat.
Hamilton road trips
The main highways around Hamilton are straight with vast tracts of farmland as scenery, which make good surfaces for straightforward driving.
Southern parts of the Waikato have more hilly terrain and curves, especially when heading from Hamilton to the magnificent stalactites and stalagmites of the Waitomo Caves – a highly recommended experience.
