About Palmerston North

Arrive early and spend some time in Palmerston North, or extend your visit and explore the beautiful Manawatū region. 

Palmerston North’s attractive city centre surrounds The Square, a picturesque seven hectare park in the middle of the city. On the fringes of this beautiful green expanse you’ll find a vast array of cafés and restaurants that will keep your taste buds tingling.

The Plaza shopping centre, and locally owned boutique shops on Coleman Mall and George Street meet everyone’s shopping needs, while the library, the Living Room of the City, looks out over The Square and provides a quiet sanctuary for all.

If you’re after a spot of culture, just a stone’s throw away you’ll find Te Manawa Museum of Art, Science and Heritage and the Zimmerman Art Gallery. For the rugby fanatics, Palmerston North is also home to the New Zealand Rugby Museum.

Palmerston North’s diverse range of cultures brings a dynamic, international perspective to everyday life, not to mention a delicious array of cultural cuisine and a vibrant events scene.
