Set amid beautiful lush green scenery, Wanganui is one of the most captivating cities in New Zealand. It is also home to some very unique and quirky attractions such as the vertical bus. The Durie Hill Elevator will take you to the top of Durie Hill, and from here you can enjoy some amazing and expansive views over the city and its environs. Art lovers should make sure to pay a visit to the Sarjeant Gallery. This is one of the most historically important buildings in all of New Zealand, and inside you can see some real treasures of the 20th century art (as well as works from more modern times, and other periods). Chief among the collections of the Sarjeant Gallery are the works of Herbert Ivan Babbage, who was one of the country’s most important artists. Other key sights to see in Wanganui include the Opera House, where you can catch amazing concerts any time of year and, of course, the beautiful coast line. In the summer you can swim and sunbathe on the coast to your heart’s content and participate in a wide variety of water sports all year round.
