A brief introduction to Auckland
Home to more than 50 volcanoes, two harbours, and the largest global Polynesian population, Auckland is a wonder of outdoor activity, fascinating culture, and truly remarkable landscapes.
Abundant with natural beauty, Auckland boasts an undulating landscape with its rolling hills and ocean on either side. You can enjoy panoramic views of the city at Mount Victoria, Eden and Saint John, or you can experience the true meaning of Auckland’s nickname ‘City of Sails’ with boating opportunities in both the Hauraki Gulf and Tasman Sea.
New Zealand’s celebrated Maori heritage is exemplified throughout the city, with its cultural and historical attractions often both having an English and Maori name. You can also learn about Polynesian art and heritage in the city’s many museums and galleries, some of the most popular being the Auckland Museum and Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki.
Amid Auckland's picturesque landscapes and coastlines also lies a bustling cityscape sprawling with neighbourhoods of vibrant bars and cafes. Head to Vulcan Lane and Ponsonby Road for a taste of some of the city’s trendiest bars and most delicious restaurants.
