- Christchurch. New Zealand's third-largest city (population 400,000) is the biggest on the South Island and has the second-busiest airport in the country.
- Dunedin. If your time is very limited and you can only spend time in one South Island city, make it Dunedin. The South Island's second-largest city (population 120,000), Dunedin is a charming place with Scottish-inspired colonial-era architecture and a large and well-respected university.
