Perched on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River, Wagga Wagga is where the produce is as fresh as the country air, the modern city streets lead to stretches of open road through farmland to wineries and artisan food producers. Plan your visit to the NSW country town with our travel guide.

Attractions in Wagga Wagga honour the natural environment with arts, activities and a year round calendar of events that bring locals and visitors together. Spend a day outdoors in the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens and walk with peacocks, visit the zoo animals and ride the Willans Hill Miniature Railway. October each year brings the town together in the city centre to celebrate Fusion, a multicultural festival featuring food, music and arts. 

Close to the centre of town and part of the Riverside precinct, the iconic Wagga Wagga Beach is where you can take a refreshing dip or enjoy a picnic on the banks of the riverbend - you might even be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the famous five o’clock wave.

Stretch your legs on the scenic Wiradjuri Walking Track. Explore the entire 42 kilometre city loop at once, or see one section at a time, passing Marrambidya Wetlands, art installations, city sights and the spectacular river on your way.

Take a self-guided foodie tour of Wagga Wagga and the surrounding farms to sample the finest tastes of the Riverina by stopping at artisan producers and wineries.
