Overnight in AucklandYour 1-Night Itinerary24 hours may not seem like much time, but in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland you can see world-class acts, recline on sun-drenched beaches, hike through native forests and even visit the snow, all within an overnight stay. So come along and see what we have to offer you for your 1-night itinerary to discover Auckland.
With local exhibitions on display, great food and some of the best coffee you’ll find, a visit to AllPress Drake Street is a must! If you’re a fan of the brand, you can grab yourself some merch from their shop or wander through the gallery of art on display while you sip your favourite caffeinated brew.
With plenty of time for lunch, head down to the Auckland Ferry Terminal and board a Fuller’s Ferry! This comfortable 30-ish minute journey will take you from downtown Auckland to the sun-drenched vineyards of Waiheke where you can sample internationally celebrated wines. Plus, if you're peckish whilst you sail across the open harbour, then the onboard food options are excellent - including the Cheese & Onion toastie!
Tucked away at the north-eastern end of Waiheke Island, Man O’ War is a true experience in exquisite wine and decadent long lunches. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the idyllic Man ‘O War Bay you can even book a guided wine tasting at the Cellar Door for a wine flight that is lip-smacking good! Pair this with a charcuterie board, some flavoursome grilled prawns or fresh oysters by the dozen!
With a constantly revolving roster of amazing performances, and world-class acts, a visit to one of our Auckland venues is a must! Catch a musical at The Civic, watch a play at the ASB Theatre in Wynyard Quarter, grab a sports match at Eden Park or party the night away at Spark Arena. With world-class acts regularly visiting Auckland, you’re guaranteed to find one that suits your tastes!
With the Viaduct right on your doorstep, the Hilton Auckland is the ideal location for you to discover the city, explore our world-class eateries and get to know Tāmaki Makaurau like a local. At any time of year, you can have a glass of bubbles at the bar in the lobby, watch the ships float in and out on the tide, or simply relax in your comfortable bed with some daytime television playing!
