Auckland
It is all but impossible to visit New Zealand without spending time in Auckland, the country's biggest city.
No rugby supporter can realistically avoid the call of Auckland, generally regarded as New Zealand's spiritual home and the ultimate challenge for visiting teams. The Auckland Museum and the New Zealand Maritime Museum carry guests through various facets of national history; Auckland Art Gallery houses a visual feast of painting and sculpture, including works by Maori artists. And the Sky Tower climbs to 1,076ft (328m) as the second tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere – offering widescreen views of the city and the coast beyond.

Hamilton
Hamilton sits a mere 75 miles south of its larger metropolitan sibling – and, as the capital of the Waikato region, offers a great deal to entertain its guests. The Waikato Museum delves into local culture via works by New Zealand artists such as Michael Parekōwhai. There are lively food and music scenes – with regular festivals throughout the calendar. And shopping is something of an artform, with three major malls in the centre.
Rugby has its place too, of course. The FMG Stadium holds 25,800 spectators, and hosted three games at the 2011 World Cup (including the very one-sided fixture between New Zealand and Japan, which the host nation won 83-7 on the way to taking the crown).

Rotorua
Rotorua sits 140 miles south-east of Auckland, and just 70 miles south-east of Hamilton. This incredible, small city is one of the essential sights at the top end of New Zealand – a place where the country’s volcanic DNA is writ large across the landscape.
The most obvious piece of evidence is Lake Rotorua, on whose south bank the city sits. This wonderful water feature is what remains of the volcano that steamed and snorted here 240,000 years ago – until a final eruption so explosive that it destroyed the mountain and the magma chamber. Mokoia Island, at the heart of the lake, is another clue as to what happened: a lava-born fruit of the cataclysm that rises 180 metres above the surface.

Wellington
You know you have reached the bottom of the North Island when you arrive in Wellington. The New Zealand capital enjoys a glorious location, gazing out across the waters of the Cook Strait, with the South Island shimmering in the distance. But while it is certainly worth continuing your journey on towards the country’s second act, spending time in this little city (of just 210,000 people) brings its own reward.
And what of rugby? The city adores it. The proof is the Sky Stadium – a noisy crucible that can hold 34,500 people (around one sixth of the official population).
