Lovers of sport, great food and wine are all part of a population of people who have a palpable sense of loyalty to their city, and with plenty to be proud of it’s no wonder they have made Hamilton their home.

The neatest things to see, eat and do.
Join the growing throngs of visitors who know Hamilton is much more than meets the eye. A place where quirky cafés and world-class eateries are popping up in every alley, it’s worth taking the time to explore.
Morning
As the sun rises you best get yourself dressed and out the door, Hamilton’s finest breakfast spots are calling…
Midday
Lunch anyone? Hamilton’s hospo scene is just too good to let a mealtime go by. Especially when you’re a hop or two away from one of the town’s tastiest little gems...
Afternoon
If an afternoon pick-me-up is in order, then Hamilton continues to provide the goods. Spend the later part of the day ticking off those earlier town sights you missed in the morning.
Evening
In a city reluctant to go to sleep, you need only visit one of these evening establishments to see why locals choose to stay up late.
