Downtown Auckland

This is the heart of Auckland, with a relaxed Pacific vibe by day and a night-time pulse shared by the inner-city suburbs that surround it.

Auckland is defined by its harbourside location, and the city spills down to meet it at Princes Wharf and the Viaduct Harbour. Here, you can enjoy an expertly made espresso or experience fine wine and Pacific Rim-inspired cuisine that makes Auckland one of the World’s great gourmet destinations.
