The New York Times has voted New Zealand by train as the fourth best place to visit this year in the iconic '52 places' list.
Each year, the New York Times compiles a list of 52 places experts believe people should travel to that year.
The 2024 list highlights the best destinations for sustainability, cultural events, nature and art.
This year, "New Zealand by train" takes fourth place, after America's the Path of Totality, Paris, and Yamaguchi in Japan.
