Invercargill is one of the most southern cities in the world, and of course, the southernmost city in New Zealand. This is the main city in Southland in New Zealand and lies only eighteen kilometers north of Bluff, which is the southernmost town on the South Island. Invercargill is a city full of life, with plenty of shops and accommodations without being a busy place. It's actually quite relaxed.
The landscape around the city is made of farms spotted with sheep among the green and yellow fields. This is the perfect city to stop for those heading to The Catlins, the southeast part of New Zealand. To get there you can use the Southern Scenic Route that passes in Invercargill and has amazing landscapes that you won't want to miss. But the city itself has some points for you to explore with historic buildings, some parks, and the city museum that is really worth it. From Invercargill it will be easy for you to get to Bluff, a small town that is the departure point of the ferry that connects South Island to Stewart Island, a nature sanctuary visited by few tourists. It's easy for you to arrive in Invercargill by car or bus, with a lot of options for all budgets.
