Auckland & Tauranga
Auckland is a thriving multi-cultural hub of cuisine, music, art and culture. Paris may be the city of love, but Auckland is the city of many lovers.
Known as the "City of Sails" for the large number of yachts that grace its two harbours, much of Auckland's character comes from being built on a volcanic field of 48 extinct volcanoes.
