Auckland Travel Guide

 31 Reviews  Devonport was one of the highlights for me when I went to Auckland. Located on the north shore it is just a 12 minute ferry ride away from downtown Auckland. (This is one of the best ways to see the Auckland skyline by the way - keep camera in hand!) When you step off the ferry you can immedialtly... 

 72 Reviews  The Skytower dominates the Auckland skyline and provides a great reference point wherever you are in the city. The said building is the tallest tower (328 meters) in the Southern Hemisphere. It's a bit expensive but worth the cost for the great views. For the adventurous type of people, you can also... 

 18 Reviews  After seeing pictures of Mount Eden, I made sure I made the stop there - and Im so glad I did! Getting off at Mount Eden station I walked up one of the many walking trails. Even though I was exhusted after the walk (as well as dodging cattle and sheep), it was well worth it - what an awesome view of... 

 46 Reviews  This is Auckland's premiere site. Make sure to reserve plenty of time for this great museum. It is a 3 museum in one site. A Maori/NZ cultural museum, a natural history museum and a war museum. Each museum has its own floor. The museum has no entrance fee but Maori Cultural shows (3 performances in... 

 20 Reviews  I must admit I am a bit disappointed with Kelly Tarlton's. We are a bit early and the staff make us wait outside for eight minutes before they let us in and even then they are not ready. The start fo the "adventure" is a walk through a replica of Scott's Antarctic hut which is very interesting. 

 21 Reviews  Located near downtown Auckland, Parnell Rose Gardens is a good way to spend a hour or two of your day. There are a variety of roses to look at which some have been made by international rose breeders. 

 17 Reviews  One Tree Hill is an extinct volcanoe with a monument at the top. The views are great. The surrounding park area is really nice. Lots of people bike ride and go jogging here. If you want to see sheep in Auckland come here! 

 10 Reviews  Currently, the Victoria Park Markets are a disgrace. They are run-down, parts are under construction and what few shops are open sell touristy junk (apart from a sports wear shop and a shoe shop). Hopefully once the Victoria Park tunnel construction is complete someone will spend some money on the... 

 4 Reviews and 325 Opinions  We stayed at the Hilton Apartments recently after a around the world trip(last leg), it is located... 

 4 Reviews  We ate at the Manuka restaurant on our first evening in New Zealand, and we were very glad to have some fresh vegetables after 2 days spent eating in airports and airplanes! We went for a classic Greek salad and some fresh fruits which is not what you usually eat to test a restaurant, so my opinion... 

 3 Reviews  The LINK is a very cheap environmentally friendly bus (satisfying the Euro5 standards) that will lead you from the city centre to all the main touristic actractions in Auckland for 1.60NZ$! I definitely do not suggest driving in Auckland, above all because parking could be very expensive, and the... 

 2 Reviews  Here is a chance for New Zealanders and travellers to purchase this quality French lavender produce imported from Provence, Sth France. This range of creams, oils and such are well known and liked all over the world. The company requires strict adherence to their guidelines to sell L'Occitane items.... 

 15 Reviews  One of the nice little suburbs of Auckland is Mission Bay, with the beautiful water view and the nice park set against the beach, this is definitely worth the 10 minute drive from downtown. Sarah is sitting in front of the Trevor Moss Davis Memorial Fountain, which opens in the springtime for a... 

 3 Reviews  This is the extinct volcanic crater at Mt Eden. Besides being always pretty, grassy and green, since childhood I've always enjoyed the great view of Rangitoto (another volcano) and Auckland city and the harbour. I have very fond memories of this spot.
