Whanganui, a UNESCO City of Design, is a hub of creativity and culture. This vibrant city is home to an array of talented artists, and its streets are lined with numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues. The city's calendar is bustling with cultural and fun events, complemented by fancy cafes, distinguished art museums, lush gardens, and picturesque heritage buildings. At the heart of Whanganui's soul is its majestic river, the longest navigable river in New Zealand.
