Home to over one and a half million Kiwis, Auckland is New Zealand’s most densely populated city. Sometimes overlooked by the rest of the country for this very reason, Auckland is a visually stunning city with an abundance of beautiful waterways and beaches in every direction.

The Largest Man-made Structure in the Southern Hemisphere

Standing proudly at 328 metres tall, Auckland’s Sky Tower is New Zealand’s tallest building and the largest man-made structure in the Southern Hemisphere. Opened in 1997, the Sky Tower’s observation deck is the perfect spot to take in panoramic vistas of Auckland’s city scape and beyond. If you’re an adrenaline junkie, you can’t go past the pulse-stopping SkyJump and SkyWalk.

For a roving excursion taking in hilltops, gardens, and chic eateries, try an inner-city electric bike tour. A knowledgeable guide will lead you through a network of cycle-friendly pathways, giving a fabulous insight into what makes Auckland city tick.

The Vibrant Viaduct Harbour and Wynyard Quarter

The site of New Zealand’s successful America’s Cup defence in 2000, the Viaduct Harbour is ‘Where Auckland City meets the ocean’. Stroll along this one-time industrial marina to experience what is now a vibrant entertainment precinct. An abundant mix of restaurants and bars are open day and night, and the harbour full of enviable watercraft is perfect post meal or beverage viewing.

The bane of Aucklanders commuting to work, the Harbour Bridge is conversely the stuff of dreams for visitors to the city. The iconic landmark affords spectacular 360-degree views encompassing the nearby CBD, surrounding waterways and Greater Auckland suburbs.
