A brief introduction to Auckland

Geographically blessed and bountiful with natural beauty, Auckland is often named one of the most livable places in the world thanks to its impressive blend of sea, mountains, and urban life.

Embraced by its two harbours, the Hauraki Gulf and Tasman Sea are brimming with yachts, earning Auckland the nickname ‘City of Sails’. From the sea, the city rises to a hilly terrain atop a volcanic field that hosts plenty of ideal routes for hikers. Make your way to the tops of Mount Victoria, Mount Eden and One Tree Hill in Cornwall Park so you can marvel at the city’s urban landscape.

A bustling bar and cafe scene is waiting to be discovered in the heart of the city, where you can find numerous drinking and dining options across Vulcan Lane and Ponsonby Road. Here, you’ll find everything from modern European Michelin star restaurants to trendy burger shacks serving craft ales.

For an insight into Maori culture and heritage, we recommend exploring the Auckland Museum. If you are an art lover, the Auckland Art Gallery and the Wallace Art Centre display some of the finest works from nationally and internationally regarded artists.
