Location
Auckland is situated on a narrow isthmus,
bounded by two harbours - the Waitemata and the Manukau - at the southern
end of the Auckland Peninsula.
General
Auckland is the main gateway to New
Zealand and the centre of commerce and industry. With a population of
about one million, it is New Zealand's largest urban area. Auckland offers
something for everyone - great beaches, a beautiful harbour, fantastic
shopping, and the nightlife and culture of a metropolitan city.
Right on Auckland's doorstep is the magnificent Hauraki Gulf stretching
in a great 250km sweep of coastline north and south of the city. Known as
the City of Sails, Auckland is the current home of the America's Cup,
yachting's greatest trophy.
Main Attractions / Activities
A diversity of
landscape provides an inviting playground for the adventure seeker. Some
of the world's finest and freshest cuisine, including an array of seafood
delicacies and award-winning wines, are found in the city and environs.
A multi-cultured city, Auckland offers all the amenities and

distinctive blend of Polynesian and European themes.
