Description
Port Chalmers is a historic New Zealand harbour town where steep, green hills meet a busy deep-water port. Its main street is lined with 19th-century stone buildings, quirky art galleries, and cafes that overlook massive ships in the bay. From the hilltop lookouts, you get a perfect view of the industrial cranes contrasted against the quiet, blue waters of the Otago Harbour.
