New Zealand’s Biggest City at Your Fingertips
Auckland offers big city thrills alongside the trademark picturesque scenery NewZealand is famous for. When you step off the plane, visitors that flock to the city centre will find themselves spoilt for choice – Queen Street and ‘K’ Road offer an abundance of shops and cafes to explore, while the nearby Viaduct provides the perfect spot for a post-shopping drink (with some breath-taking harbour views).
If you’re keen to make the most of your stay, be sure to keep an eye out for what’s on in the city. With events on each week, expect to catch a range of exciting sports and music occasions at Spark (formerly Vector) Arena. Don’t forget to check out the many film, art and comedy festivals that run annually.
When exploring Auckland’s downtown, there are plenty of activities to discover the essence of Auckland’s culture:
- Visit the Sky Tower Observation Deck for panoramic views of the city; or for the more courageous, try the SkyWalk or SkyJump!
- Try your luck at spotting dolphins, whales, and other marine life on a whale watching cruise.
- Visit the Howick Historical Village to uncover an early Auckland settlement.
- Take a stroll through Cornwall Park, Auckland’s answer to New York City’s Central Park.
- Visit the New Zealand Maritime Museum to learn about the country’s rich maritime history.
- Drive over to the suburb of Devonport for scenic views of Auckland and a peaceful, laidback atmosphere.
While there’s plenty to do in Auckland itself, the city is situated close to many natural attractions that the greater New Zealand area is known for:
- Catch the ferry and head over to Waiheke Island; embark on one of the many coastal walks, relax on the beach or visit a wide selection of wineries.
- Visit Tiritiri Matangi Island by ferry to check out some of New Zealand’s rarest and endangered bird species
- For the movie buffs, a trip to the ‘Hobbiton’ movie set from The Lord of the Rings is a two hour trip away by car – most say it’s worth the journey
- Hit the road for a scenic 2.5-hour drive to find yourself at the beautiful Waitamo Glow-worm caves
- Hike the summits of some of Auckland’s inactive volcanoes, such as Mt. Eden, Mangere Mountain, Mt. Wellington and One Tree Hill – which was popularised in a song by Irish rock band U2.
Hiring a car with Hertz will offer you the flexibility of seeing everything Auckland has to offer (and beyond)! Hertz in Auckland is conveniently located in the CBD, so whether you’re here for business or for pleasure, we’ll make your travels easy.
