A brief introduction to Auckland
With an abundance of natural beauty, flawless combination of sea and city, and fascinating Maori history, there’s little wonder why Auckland is so dazzling.
Sitting atop a volcanic field, Auckland is known for its hilly terrain and countless trails. For picturesque panoramas, be sure to enjoy some of the city’s best hikes, some of the more popular being Mount Victoria, Mount Eden and One Tree Hill. From these vantage points, you’ll be able to see Auckland’s urban cityscape: a smattering of skyscrapers and two yacht-filled harbours – earning Auckland the nickname the ‘City of Sails’.
For an insight into Maori culture and heritage, travellers can explore the Auckland Museum. If you are an art lover, the Auckland Art Gallery and the Wallace Arts Centre display some of the finest works from nationally and internationally regarded artists. Wander through the streets of Vulcan Lane and Ponsonby Road to find a bustling bar and cafe scene, where you’ll find everything from Indian to Japanese cuisine, modern European Michelin star restaurants and trendy burger shacks.
