Good to know before you go
The currency is the New Zealand dollar and English is spoken alongside Māori. Driving is on the left, and the compact centre is walkable, with buses, trains, and ferries (all tapped with an AT HOP card) filling the gaps and ride apps like Uber handy in town; a rental car is the way to reach the wild west-coast beaches, though agencies often add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s and downtown parking is pricey. It's an easy, friendly city to find your way around.
