Auckland by vivacekate

I particularly enjoyed the botanical gardens and national museum, all things K-Road, and the harbor. The free City Circuit bus was a great way to get my bearings.

There’s a free City Circuit bus, which is a great way to get your bearings in Auckland (and also save yourself from walking up the occasional steep street!).

Go down to the Viaduct Harbour – lots of bars and eating places. You can also take a trip on an ex-America’s Cup sailing yacht from here, a great experience!

I went to The Uni of Auckland. The campus was up on the hills and every time I go to my classes I need to climb up the hill. Bad for me I can’t get the free bus from where I used to live.

I want so much to go to New Zealand specially to Auckland. Because it is an exotic and beautiful country with many exciting things to do it. I love extreme sports and I know this country is known for its extreme sports. It has gorgeous beaches and I love beaches.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Auckland by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Auckland, known as the City of Sails, is as big, as cosmopolitan, as hedonistic, as subtropical, and as congested as any New Zealand city gets. If you're starting here, you're starting at the top. And if you haven't visited Auckland in the last 5 years, you're in for a major surprise -- it has slipped into a new stylish skin that is leaving the rest of New Zealand in its wake. Along with its much-touted 48 dead volcanoes, Auckland is home to more than 1.3 million people. It has the largest Polynesian population in the world; more boats per capita than any other city; 22 regional parks covering 37,038 hectares (91,484 acres); 50 islands; and more than 500km (310 miles) of walking and hiking tracks. It also has the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere, which attracts the most lightning, and if a daily shower is no longer enough, Auckland, surrounded on all sides by water, offers more ways of getting wet than just about anywhere.
