Best Queenstown Tours & Activities | Things to do, Scenic Cruises - Flight Centre

<p>Queenstown is a beautiful place to visit all year round! Summer (December to February) is great for outdoor activities like cruising and hiking, while winter (June to August) is perfect for skiing and snowboarding. Spring and autumn can also be a great time to visit, offering milder weather and fewer crowds.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>No, Queenstown is a very walkable place that is perfectly built for backpackers and adventurers who are looking to explore without a car. However, you might like to <u><strong><a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/cars-rental" target="_blank">hire a car</a></strong></u> or <u><strong><a href="https://www.backpackerdeals.com/campervans-rental" target="_blank">rent a campervan</a></strong></u> if you&rsquo;re keen to explore some of the other destinations around Queenstown, such as Wanaka or Arrowtown. If you do, just be prepared for some winding mountain roads!</p>

<p>We recommend spending at least three days in Queenstown to make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy all the highlights. However, even a quick overnight getaway in this incredible town can easily be packed with adventure!<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yes, you can swim in the lakes around Queenstown! Lake Wakatipu is particularly popular for a refreshing dip. Just be aware that the water can be quite chilly, especially during winter!</p>
