Welcome to

Welcome to Whanganui, where history is full of stories, legends and rich legacy. The thriving arts scene and breathtaking natural landscapes will capture your imagination at every turn. Whanganui has won ‘New Zealand’s Most Beautiful City’ award for two years in a row because of the huge focus on arts and beautification. 

As New Zealand’s second-oldest city, the ‘River City’s’ streets are lined with a colourful celebration of Art Deco and Victorian-era buildings alongside impressive street murals and boutique shopping. We’re big enough to support groundbreaking ambitions and small enough for authentic connections. 

The outstanding Whanganui Awa (River) is at the heart of the city and, as the longest navigable waterway in the country, runs for 290 kms from the heights of Mt Tongariro to the Tasman Sea.

If we have whetted your appetite for more – come for a visit; we’d love to show you what more we have to offer.
