When to visit

The best time to visit Auckland is during the summer months of December to February when the weather is warm and sunny. This is also the peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices. Spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also pleasant times to visit, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists. Winter (June to August) is the off-peak season, with cooler temperatures and occasional rainfall.

Getting around

Auckland has a well-developed public transportation system, including buses, trains, and ferries, making it easy to get around the city. The Auckland Transport website provides information on routes, schedules, and fares. Taxis and rideshare services are also available. For those who prefer to explore on foot, the city center is compact and pedestrian-friendly. Renting a car is another option for those who want to explore the surrounding areas at their own pace.

Traveller tips

Don't miss the opportunity to visit the iconic Sky Tower, which offers panoramic views of the city and adrenaline-pumping activities like skydiving and bungee jumping. Take a ferry to Waiheke Island, known for its beautiful vineyards and stunning beaches. Explore the vibrant neighborhoods of Ponsonby and Parnell, which are home to trendy shops, cafes, and restaurants. Experience Maori culture by visiting the Auckland Museum and attending a traditional Maori cultural performance. Don't forget to try some of the local delicacies, such as seafood, lamb, and traditional Maori hangi (a feast cooked in an earth oven).
