Auckland is one of the few places in the world where, within 30 minutes of the city, you can be relaxing on unspoilt beaches, hiking in native bush or exploring gulf islands.
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest and most populous urban area and is the country’s main hub for international air services. Auckland International Airport is the arrival port for flights from all points of the globe; it is a three hour flight from the eastern seaboard of Australia, a direct overnight flight from the west coast of North America, and is easily accessible from destinations around the Asia-Pacific Rim.
A cosmopolitan city, Auckland is a lively fusion of international style and local creativity and has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world. It is also one of the few cities to have harbours on two separate major bodies of water – the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
Auckland’s lifestyle is ranked among the best in the world and the city boasts a vibrant arts and cultural community, award-winning restaurants, cafes and bars, boutique and designer store shopping, endless recreational activities, and a diverse range of accommodation options.
