With spectacular views on the mountainside, gorgeous beaches, and dozens of fabulous tourist destinations, New Zealand is one of the most popular countries for holiday visits. Offering attractions such as Stewart Island’s fascinating wild life, the spectacle that is the Glacier Country, and the street known for getting the most sunshine in the world, Nelson, visitors will never be bored when visiting New Zealand.
While the country offers a number of attractions for tourists of all ages, most, young adults visiting the country as a group will be interested to hear about New Zealand’s night life. So, what are the cities in New Zealand to visit for those out there looking to party through the night?
Christchurch
Christchurch has recently seen quite a boom in its night life scene, with new bars and clubs having been opened in the last few years. With so many new bars open, the city is a great place if you are looking to start a bar crawl, and end it dancing your brains out in one of the numerous clubs.
For those looking for a more thrilling time, Christchurch is home to one of New Zealand’s six casinos. The Christchurch casino takes up over 4000 m2 of space, and allows access to hundreds of slot machines, and over thirty table games, including the most popular casino games in the world, such as poker, blackjack, roulette, etc.
For those of you who might visit the Christchurch casino, and get a taste for gambling, the Casumo New Zealand online casino offers most of the same games, and they can be played electronically, or against a live dealer.
Queenstown
New Zealand boasts their own version of the city that never sleeps. Queenstown is the place to be if you are looking to party. Those visiting Queenstown during the winter season will have no trouble at all finding heart-pumping activities during the day, as Queenstown is the premium skiing destination in New Zealand.
However, the bars and clubs are opened year-long, so if you are looking to party the night away with friends, sipping cocktails, drinking beer, and dancing all night long, Queenstown is definitely where you will want to be during your trip to New Zealand. The town is home to some of the most popular bars and clubs in New Zealand, as well as some hidden, indie clubs, for those of you looking to stay away from large crowds.
Wellington
Of course, we can’t go through this list without mentioning New Zealand’s capital. Wellington is almost like Queenstown more mature, older brother. While the bars and clubs in Queenstown are all about partying, dancing, and drinking, Wellington is all about the culture. Cocktail clubs, micro-breweries, and authentic pubs fill the streets of Wellington, offering a great experienced for those of you looking for a more “down-low” party scene.
That is not to say that Wellington does not have what it takes for those of you looking to raise the roof. Nightclubs are quite common in the city, and a lot of them remain open through the night. The city also has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities in the country, and so it will come as no surprise to some of you to learn that gay clubs are abundant in Wellington.
Conclusion
New Zealand is a fantastic place to visit when on a family trip, but it also has a lot to offer when you are looking for a place to go with a group of friends. The night life definitely will not leave you wanting, with some great nightclubs, bars, and pubs that will keep you drinking and dancing through the night.
