The most populous area in New Zealand, one cannot fully fathom the charm of Auckland until one fully experiences all that it has to offer. The City of Sails is bordered by seas, dotted with volcanoes, and populated by different cultures. Lying between the Hauraki Gulf and the Pacific Ocean, Auckland has two harbors on two separate bodies of water – one of the very few cities in the world that can boast of such a feature. The city itself lies on a dormant volcanic field – another feature that attests to Auckland's uniqueness.
Auckland is a haven for numerous nautical events throughout the year that's hosted in any one of its harbors. It also plays host to some of the most beautiful parks in the world such as the Auckland Domain, and numerous museums and art galleries. All of Auckland's best natural features are best absorbed atop the Sky Tower, the Southern Hemisphere's tallest freestanding structure. Throw in an exciting nightlife to all these, and you've got yourself a city unparalleled in charm and uniqueness in Auckland.
