Information about New Zealand

New Zealand or Kiwi Land is an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean. There are two major islands and many smaller ones that together form the country of New Zealand. Why Kiwi (people)? Kiwi is the internationally known nickname and national symbol of New Zealand. The name is derived from the kiwi, a flightless and nocturnal bird that is also native to New Zealand. Besides the kiwi, this is a country with stunning and diverse nature, it has the most unique biozone on earth. Green landscapes with rugged mountains, steep fjords, and raging rivers are some of the reasons why movies like Lord of the Rings were filmed there. With only four million inhabitants in a relatively large area, New Zealand's islands are sparsely populated. Make sure you have enough time to travel around New Zealand, as long stretches will take longer than you expect and in order not to miss anything, it is better to have some free time, which you will surely need. If you are travelling by car, get ready for enchanting landscapes as many roads will take you along the coast and through mountain ranges where you will be dazzled by the flora and fauna of the islands. Besides nature and the rural side of New Zealand, which is the most popular, the cities do not take a back seat. Auckland, for example, is a pleasant city with many museums, ancient volcanoes, and Sky Tower. Interesting architecture can be found in the capital of Wellington and Napier as well as Christchurch for its English character.
