Invercargill - The Friendly City
Visitors Guide
 The wide streets, fine heritage buildings, excellent shopping facilities and the warm hospitality of locals, usually surprise visitors to Invercargill. A priority attraction is the Southland Museum and Art Gallery (where the Visitor Information Centre is located). Here you can virtually experience a visit to the Subantarctic Island through the audiovisual show and Roaring 40's exhibition, which will give you an insight to these spectacular and remote Southern landforms.
Invercargill is also the gateway to the magnificent Southern coastline of New Zealand. You can enjoy the magical atmosphere and tranquil beauty of Stewart Island - the only place in the world where you can view Kiwis living in their natural habitat.
From Invercargill you can travel around the Southern Scenic Route and view Hectors Dolphins at Curio Bay, or tramp across the stunning Port Craig viaduct.
The lifestyle opportunities available to the people who live in Invercargill are exceptional. Good quality housing is affordable and there are no traffic jams.  Sporting facilities such as Splash Palace and the new Leisure centre are of an international standard. There is an abundance of golf courses, parks, conference centres, educational facilities, cafes, art galleries, theatres and all of the other delights of modern urban living. We are close to Queenstown and Dunedin.
I am sure you will enjoy your visit to the Scenic South.
