Auckland

Known affectionately as the "City of Sails" with more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world, Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand with a population of over a million people. It is the centre of commerce and industry, and perhaps the most vibrant, bustling and multicultural city in New Zealand.

Auckland is a water lover's paradise, with some of the best beaches, swimming, diving, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and watersports in the country. It offers an eclectic mix of fashion, food and arts, and a host of activities to keep you entertained. The lively Viaduct Harbour is a good place to begin exploring - check out the designer shops at Princes Wharf, dine outdoors at the Viaduct's lively eateries, or take a walk along scenic Tamaki Drive to the bustling seaside village of Mission Bay. You can visit Auckland's much-loved harbour landmark, Rangitoto, and the unmissable Sky Tower - the Southern Hemisphere's highest.
