Auckland – The most populous of New Zealand’s cities with the attractions to match. Check out the best things to do in the city and start planning a trip of your own!
An Auckland vacation leaves visitors spoilt for choice for activities. The city marries modern art and buildings with nature, and the surrounding region has plenty of its own attractions to offer. Auckland is called the City of Sails, boasting more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world.
Nestled between two natural harbors, it’s no wonder residents and visitors alike enjoy spending time on the water. Just outside the city are rolling hills, jagged cliffs, and forests with towering treetops. Walk through the Hauna Ranges and be rewarded with the Hunua Falls, an impressive waterfall rushing over a volcanic edge. Adventure-seekers must head to the downtown Sky Tower before leaving New Zealand.
This is the tallest man-made building in the entire country – it offers a breathtaking base jump from the top and an observation platform for views of the city and harbor.
