When to go



The best time to visit New Zealand is the austral summer, from December to March, since it is pleasantly warm on the North Island and cool on the South Island.
If you want to visit the country in winter, for example in August, you can choose the North Island, which is milder and more sheltered from cold waves, and maybe you can combine the exploration of the cities with a bit of skiing in the mountains.

What to pack



In winter (June to August): for the North Island, Auckland, and Wellington, bring spring/autumn clothes, a sweater, a jacket, and a raincoat or umbrella. For the South Island, bring warm clothes, such as a down jacket, a scarf, a hat, and a raincoat. For high mountains, mountain clothing.
In summer (December to February): for the North Island, Auckland, and Wellington, and the South Island down to Christchurch, bring light clothes for the day, a sweatshirt and a light jacket for the evening, and a raincoat or umbrella. For the south, spring/autumn clothes, a sweater, and a raincoat or umbrella. For the Southern Alps, warm mountain clothing.
