Queen Street & Downtown: Aotea Square
  • Tip Rating:
  • But Auckland is not just about water. It may not be the most attractive city, with Aotea Sq highlighting this - the rather brutal 1960s/ 70s architecture of the Aotea Centre itself, the more modern Force Entertainment Centre - but there is the restored 19th century Town Hall, home to the NZ Symphony & Auckland Philharmonia.

    Queen Street & Downtown: Aotea Square
  • Tip Rating:
  • Aotea Square sits just beside the Town Hall and of course the Aotea Centre is there. The square is made up of paved areas, gardens and lawns and aside from being a popular place for office workers to enjoy their lunch, it is also a venue for outdoor activities and events and can hold up to 15,000 people. The Aotea Square Market is open every Friday and Saturday from 10.00am to 6.00pm.

    Queen Street & Downtown: Vulcan Lane
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city. The lane is one of the earliest colonial side streets in Auckland and was very popular for the location of new offices as the economy grew in the city. There were many high-profile offices constructed in the area especially where the smaller lanes met the major commercial main road.

    Queen Street & Downtown: Vulcan Buildings
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Vulcan Buildings was erected in1928 when Vulcan Lane was widened. It was built originally to accommodate shops on the ground floor offices on the above floors along with accommodation for a caretaker. The style reflected the economic wealth and artistic freedom of the 1920’s and was quite a contrast to other buildings in the same period which were more in the Chicago style office blocks. It is quite a prominent landmark at the entrance to Vulcan Lane which has largely remained in tact in the centre of Queen Street.

    Queen Street & Downtown: The Ferry Building
  • Tip Rating:
  • The old Ferry Building which was originally built on reclaimed land in 1912, has been restored and has an award winning seafood restaurant inside lining the balconies. This is also the landmark to head for when catching ferries to the outer islands or to Devonport or Birkenhead.
