The crown jewel of the city is the iconic Skyline Gondola, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lake, making it an unmissable experience.

For first-timers, a must-do is to take a scenic flight over Milford Sound, which offers a bird's-eye view of the stunning fjords and waterfalls, but be sure to book in advance to avoid sold-out flights.
