Auckland CBD (Auckland, New Zealand)
In New Zealand, Busy Auckland is a top City Break Choice
As New Zealand’s largest city, Auckland is a happening sort of place where you can, quite literally, get a taste of the high life. Impressively, the city centre, also known as the CBD, is approximately the same size as Australia’s Sydney CBD, and life doesn’t get much higher than when you stay in one of the area’s many imposing skyscraper buildings. These house a number of apartments, businesses and top-end hotels. There is an equally exciting abundance of restaurants, bars, entertainment and associated nightlife activity. In this down-under hemisphere, Auckland is a top choice for a city break, New Zealand style.
Any Time is a Good Time to Visit Auckland
When is the best time of year to visit Auckland, you ask? The answer is, there isn’t one. This North Island climate is temperate throughout the year and a few degrees up on South Island’s temperatures. The warmest months though are January and February, and the coldest is July. This is when snow can fall in the inland mountainous regions, and when outdoor enthusiasts enjoy great hiking, skiing, and mountain biking activities. There isn’t really a dry season either, because the rain thoughtfully spreads itself throughout the year. Also, and even during those colder months, the sun shines regularly. Auckland has great appeal, whenever you visit.
Things to do in Auckland win a Chorus of Approval
When pondering on the many things to do in this city, you can’t miss the bustling shopping scene which centres on the Queen Street and High Street areas. Then, the CBD’s Britomart is established as the country’s home of fashion, and the traditional department store continues to flourish at Smith & Caughey. The city’s two harbours attract lots of boats, bars and cafes; plus, there are further high levels of excitement at Sky Tower. Domain is the city’s oldest park, and the city’s restaurants, clubs and nightlife really do take some beating. It’s about 30 minutes to a family day out at Mission Bay Beach and, back in the city centre, classic opera productions at the ASB Theatre strike precisely the right note for culture vultures. Still wondering what to do in Auckland?
Choose From High, Medium and Low-budget Accommodation in Auckland CBD
This city centre district is where you’ll discover some perfect accommodation choices. There are numerous luxury hotels such as the SKYCITY Grand, as well as motels, B&Bs and apartments. They come with prices to suit all pockets, although you can save time, and choices will become clearer, if you make an early visit to trivago. Abaco on Jervois is one of the many establishments that are popular with motel dwellers, and serviced apartments include Quest Carlaw Park. The city centre’s hostels are also hugely popular, particularly with backpacking travellers. The food is great too, and when considering dining in the hotel or elsewhere, don’t miss out on national favourite dishes such as Hāngi, which is best enjoyed in a group setting. Finish the meal with Hokey Pokey Ice Cream which features yummy lumps of honeycomb. You’ll love Hokey Pokey almost as much as you love everything else about Auckland.
