Tāmaki Makaurau

Explore Auckland

Whether you're flying in for the conference or making a long weekend of it, Auckland is well worth exploring. Sitting on an isthmus between two harbours, with 53 volcanic cones, world-class dining and a vibrant arts scene, there's something for everyone in Aotearoa's largest city.

From Waiheke Island's vineyards to Piha's wild west coast surf beach, the Waitematā Harbour to the laneways of Karangahape Road — Auckland rewards those who take a little time to wander.

The NZICC puts you right in the CBD, with great restaurants, waterfront walks, Te Papa's sister galleries and the iconic Sky Tower all within easy reach on foot.
