Auckland sightseeing is a priority for many visitors to Auckland City.
What you do and where you go in Auckland depend very much on your interests, whether you prefer to soak up on culture and history or would rather be involved in outdoor — perhaps strenuous, maybe even dangerous — activities.
For this reason the Auckland Visitor Centre, 299 Queen St on Aotea Square, should really be a first stop for finding attractions on your Auckland sightseeing tour.
Browse through the wide array of Auckland sightseeing material to see what you can do within the time you have.
Sky City
For instance, you may want to visit Sky City and ride the glass-fronted lifts up to the Sky Tower — this is the tallest building in the southern hemisphere — for 360-degree panoramic views of Auckland and its harbours.
There's a casino at Sky City, if you feel so inclined, and restaurants and shops.
Maori culture and history
Or you can head straight to the Auckland Museum in the Domain for a view of Maori culture and history through its artefacts, art and exhibitions.
It's a 25-minute walk to the museum through the Domain or you can take a bus from the downtown bus terminal on Commerce St.
Outdoor activities
If it's outdoor activities you'd like to experience, there's rap jumping, skydiving, paragliding, sea kayaking, scuba diving, windsurfing — all within the city or close by.
More information
Whatever it is you'd like to do, Auckland sightseeing information should be available at the Visitor Centre or, even closer at hand, in the office or lobby of your hotel.
