Auckland Sights

    The giant trees planted here over a century ago have seen it all: student protests, lantern festivals and rock concerts, as well as lots of people lolling in its neat hill-top surrounds.

  2. Auckland Domain

    The gorgeous Domain emanates out from a long-dead volcano: its terraced remains creating a natural amphitheatre and a literal level playing field for numerous sporting grounds. Stroll through pockets of formal gardens or fringes of bush (on the Parnell side of Domain Dr), and experience perpetual winter at the Wintergarden cool house. The Domain is home to the Auckland Museum , a sculpture walk, and lots of glorious green space.
