In Auckland's vibrant city centre you can shop to your heart's content, wander the beautiful waterfront, enjoy fine dining and explore the local art scene.
Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, is poised between two enormous harbours and dotted with extinct volcanic cones. While Auckland acts as a gateway to New Zealand, it is also an exciting destination in its own right.
Visitors can explore the islands of the Hauraki Gulf by ferry or charter boat, walk the forest tracks of the Waitakere Ranges, follow wine trails and enjoy the relaxing pleasures of urban life by the sea.
Auckland has all the stores you need for happy holiday shopping, but it’s also close to some fantastic suburban beaches. When you’ve done your dash with the designers, grab a taxi, catch a bus or steer your hire car to Mission Bay, Kohimarama, Takapuna or Milford. You’ll be licking ice cream by the ocean in no time at all.
