There is great shopping, entertainment and a vibrant café culture, not to mention the buzzing local pubs and clubs. Plus all the facilities you would expect of a vibrant, fun and fashionable international city.
Affectionately known as the “City of Sails”, because sailing and windsurfing are so popular in this wonderful coastal location, Auckland has two great harbours which surround the city and inspire the passion of Aucklanders for any water activity.
