Palate
Two-hat Cuisine Good Food restaurant from chef Mat McLean, in the SkyCity complex on Victoria Street. The city's most ambitious cooking since 2005, with a tasting menu that consistently changes. The Hamilton dinner if you want the best.
Gothenburg
Riverbank tapas restaurant on Grantham Street with a glass-walled dining room over the Waikato. Tapas-only menu, designed for sharing, the kind of dinner a group of friends takes over. The reliable group dinner in town.
Waikato River Walk
The flat 13km paved promenade along both banks of the Waikato River through the city, with bridges to switch sides. Pram-friendly, suitable for road bikes. The classic Hamilton daily walk.
Hakarimata Summit Track
The steepest stair-climb walk in the country, 1,300 wooden steps up the Hakarimata Range north of town to a panoramic summit. The local Sunday hill workout; cult status with Hamilton runners.
Hobbiton Movie Set Tour
The intact Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film set on a working sheep farm at Matamata, 45 minutes east of Hamilton. The Shire walk with a Green Dragon Inn pour. Touristy, expensive, and a once-in-a-lifetime film-set visit.
Hamilton Zoo
Regional zoo with the country's largest walk-through aviary, 600 animals, and free zookeeper talks throughout the day. Family-friendly half-day.
Hamilton Gardens
Eighteen themed gardens on the eastern bank of the Waikato River, walking you from a 1960s Italian Renaissance courtyard to a Japanese contemplation garden to the traditional Maori Te Parapara. Free admission; the most-visited tourist attraction in the country. The single reason to come to Hamilton.
Waikato Museum
Free museum on Victoria Street with permanent galleries on the Maori taonga of the region, a working Tudor-era warship cannon, the country's largest exhibition of Polynesian poi, and rotating contemporary art. Two hours of real content.
