What you’ll do

Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand, and it's where I've called home for the last seventeen years. I've spent years exploring across the region and have been fortunate to spend time on some of the most incredible hiking trails, wasted away days on white-sand beaches, and watched more west coast sunsets than I can count.

It's the perfect place to spend a couple of days easing your way into life in New Zealand before heading north to the Bay of Islands, or down south to start a larger NZ road trip.

In this itinerary, I’ll share how I would spend three days in Auckland if it were my first time visiting the city, and tips on making the most of your time in this beautiful city.

Welcome to Aotearoa New Zealand! Whether you’re a local or an international tourist, thank you for wanting to explore our little slice of paradise.

After landing in Auckland, check into your accommodation. You have a few options here! If you would rather stay in the city centre, I'd recommend staying at a hotel in the CBD so you’re close to everything, including the Viaduct, Skytower and Downtown Ferry Terminal. If this is the case, you probably don't need a car, unless you want to go to the West Coast.

If you'd prefer to go further afield, or are camping, I'd head over to Piha or Muriwai on the west coast. Or, drive north to Takapuna, Orewa or right up to the top of the region in Matakana. You will need a car for this as public transport is almost non-existent.

Spend your first afternoon/evening in Auckland by easing into the city. Head down to the Viaduct to wander along the waterfront and then up to the top of Maungawhau (Mount Eden) for sunset and a picnic. It’s one of the best views in the city and worth adding to your Auckland bucket list!

Alternatively, if you’d prefer to go out for dinner, I’d recommend Soul Bar & Bistro, Depot, Non Solo Pizza, Lilian or Otto.
