Auckland
A city on the edge of pristine wilderness sounds unreal, doesn’t it? Welcome to Auckland. Set on 53 dormant volcanic cones, Auckland is New Zealand’s biggest city and the gateway to the rest of Aotearoa (the current Māori name for New Zealand). Don’t miss the brightly coloured sailing boats zipping around sparkling Waitemata Harbour and bush walks into the rainforest-covered hills. Hosting more than just natural beauty, Auckland is a thriving metropolis with some of the nation's best food, coffee, bars, all brimming with cultural appeal.
