Auckland

Auckland rests on the narrowest stretch of the North Island, where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea nearly touch in an endless dance of tides. Spreading over 600 square kilometres and nearly 50 volcanoes, it is New Zealand’s largest and most diverse city — a vibrant meeting of cultures set against nature’s restless beauty. Rising above it all, the Sky Tower pierces the clouds at 328 metres, its revolving restaurant offering a slow, breathtaking turn through the skyline of a city cradled by two seas.
