OverviewPage 2
Gateway city
Why Auckland
- Main international gateway to New Zealand (Auckland Airport, AKL)
- Excellent hostel and backpacker infrastructure along Queen Street and the CBD
- Easy day trips to Waiheke Island, Rangitoto Island, and west coast beaches like Piha
New Zealand's largest city straddles two harbours and is built on 53 dormant volcanoes. Known as the "City of Sails," Auckland is where most international flights land and where the vast majority of backpackers begin or end their New Zealand adventure. It blends urban energy with easy access to beaches, islands, and wine regions.
