AUCKLAND City

Go back to New Zealand cities guide


The largest city of New Zealand is situated on a thin stretch of the North Island and almost completely surrounded by the Pacific. The landscape arround is comprised of around 50 extinct volcanic cones now covered in lush forest. It makes for a spectacular setting. Auckland's suburbs tend to sprawl for miles around but the city centre has restaurants, trendy bars and cafes and a multicultural blend including a huge Polynesian population. Most of the attractions are maritime based and it is said that one in every ten Aucklanders owns a boat so make sure you get down to the harbours and enjoy the City of Sails.
