Australia’s capital city is iconic for a reason – it’s just beautiful. Start or finish your day on the harbour, one of the world’s most famous; the botanic gardens are good for a meander or to sit and ponder, while adrenaline junkies should enjoy a climb on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Surrounding the harbour are several popular bars and restaurants, as well another Sydney icon, the Sydney Opera House, just as beautiful inside as it is outside. Go back in time in the Australian Museum in Hyde Park, and then come back to the future at the Museum of Contemporary Art. And you can’t miss perhaps the best spot of all, Bondi Beach, where the views are so incredible you just can’t believe you’re in Australia’s largest urban area.

Imagine an urban environment where everyone lives within half an hour of beautiful beaches, hiking trails and a dozen enchanted holiday islands. Add a sunny climate, a background rhythm of Polynesian culture and a passion for outstanding food, wine and shopping, and you’re beginning to get the picture of Auckland, our largest and most diverse city.
Auckland is a shopaholic's paradise, with everything from top-end designers to open air street markets. While you're here, enjoy the city's diverse cafes, restaurants and nighlife. Favourite downtown spots include Wynyard Quarter, the Viaduct Harbour and the Britomart precinct.
Once you've seen the city, head out to one of Auckland's four distinct wine districts where you can sample local vino against the backdrop of rolling hills and sparkling ocean.
