Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, nicknamed the "City of Sails". Its landmark Sky Tower offers a 360° view of the city, with the option of a SkyWalk experience. Climb the dormant volcanic cone of Mount Eden for panoramic views of the city and sea. Stroll along the Viaduct Harbour, admiring the yachts. Take a ferry to Waiheke Island (wine country) for wine tasting and beach visits. Piha's black sand beach is ideal for surfing, while the artsy town of Devonport offers unique charm. The local cuisine features fresh oysters, lobster, salmon, and other seafood; roast lamb, Māori Hangi, and Flat White coffee are also must-tries.
