Auckland is the largest metropolitan area in both Polynesia and New Zealand, with a population of around 1.5 million people. Roughly one third of New Zealand's entire population reside in Auckland. Auckland is in the northern half of the North Island, on a narrow isthmus of land that joins the Northland peninsula to the rest of the North Island.

A City of Beauty and Adventure

Auckland, also known as the "City of Sails," is the largest city in New Zealand and is located on the North Island. It is a vibrant and diverse city that offers something for everyone. From stunning natural landscapes to a thriving arts and culture scene, Auckland is a destination that should not be missed.

Natural Beauty

One of the main draws of Auckland is its natural beauty. The city is surrounded by water, with two large harbors, the Waitemata and the Manukau, and is also home to several volcanic cones. The most iconic of these is Mount Eden, which offers a breathtaking view of the city. Additionally, Auckland is located close to several popular beaches such as Mission Bay and Takapuna. But the natural beauty of Auckland doesn't stop there. Just a short drive from the city center, visitors can find themselves in the middle of lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls and black sand beaches. The Waitakere Ranges Regional Park and the West Coast beaches are must-see natural attractions.

Food and Drink

Auckland is a food lover's paradise, with a diverse range of restaurants and cafes offering everything from traditional New Zealand fare to international cuisine. The city's waterfront area, Viaduct Harbour, is particularly popular for its range of dining options.

For a true taste of New Zealand, visitors should try a traditional hangi, a method of cooking food by burying it in a pit oven. For a more upscale dining experience, Auckland's French Cafe and The Grove are both Michelin-starred restaurants that offer exceptional cuisine.
