Introducing Auckland


Auckland is New Zealand's most populous city, with nearly two million residents (2024). The city's expansive harbor and easy accessibility to tranquil islands and black sand beaches such as Muriwai offer a serene counterbalance to a dynamic urban texture; most of the city’s beaches are less than an hour's drive from the city center, making them terrific day trip destinations.

Auckland is also surrounded by dozens of volcanoes, many of which offer spectacular views. Within the city limits is the 196-meter-high Maungawhau, also known as Mount Eden, overlooking the city and harbor. Other Auckland highlights include the Auckland War Museum, Auckland Art Gallery, Auckland Fish Market, and Matakana Farmers Market.
