Getting Around Queenstown
The best way to get around Queenstown is by car, since many of the city's activities are spread apart. Plus, there's no public transportation system to get you from A to B.

To get into town from Queenstown International Airport (ZQN), a distance of just under five miles, you can take a taxi or your rental car.
