Auckland, City of Sails
Get cheap flights to Auckland from Flight Centre..
Auckland is one of the least densely populated cities in the world, giving it a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. It sits on a narrow spit of land, either side are harbours with a vibrant waterfront and huge number of boats. Host to the 2002 Americas Cup, cheap flights to Auckland take you to a truly maritime city.
When to visit?
The sea means this city never gets too hot or too cold, so it’s always a good time to buy cheap flights to Auckland.
What are the must-see attractions?
The best way to see Auckland is from the water. Take a tour of the harbours and stop off at one of the 47 islands that pepper the Hauraki Gulf. Tiritiri Matangi Island is a nature reserve with many rare species and wilderness walks. Other islands are given over to sports and recreational pleasures. At the weekend, the gulf is awash with colour as flotillas of yachts set sail. Back on land, go to Howick Historical Village, it’s a living museum of the original settlement, there are 33 renovated buildings set in gardens with staff in period costume.
What else is there to do?
Take a trip up the Sky Tower, New Zealand’s highest building, for spectacular views of the city and the gulf. If you’ve got a real head for heights, you can even bungee jump from the top!
