Everywhere you look in Queenstown you will be surrounded by rugged, snow capped peaks and breathtaking scenery, no wonder many spots in the area were used as locations during the filming of the Lord of the Rings. To experience some of the sites used for the movie join a guided day tour where you will be shown sites such as the Misty Mountains and the Pillars of Argonath where Isildur fell, as well as the Ford of Bruinen. This is a must do for Lord of the Rings fans!
