A brief introduction to Auckland

With its abundance of natural beauty, flawless combination of sea and city, and lively culture spanning Western and Maori influences, there’s little wonder why Auckland is so dazzling.

Auckland is a city of contrasts, not least owing to its unusual landscape. Sitting atop a volcanic field, Auckland has a hilly terrain creased with numerous trails left by hikers and joggers seeking picturesque panoramas from the top of Mount Victoria, Mount Eden and One Tree Hill. From these soaring hotspots, you’ll be able to see Auckland’s urban cityscape: a smattering of skyscrapers amid emerald vistas and two large harbours, where countless yachts reside – earning Auckland the nickname ‘City of Sails’.

For an insight into Maori culture and heritage, travellers can also 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.

To experience the best of Auckland’s nightlife, be sure to wander through the streets of Vulcan Lane and Ponsonby Road. Here, you will find a bustling bar and café scene, as well as trendy Japanese and European restaurants.
