For the Tourists
Places to see, things to do
Auckland is frequently treated as a stopover destination - get off the plane and get out!
We don't think so, and it all depends on what you enjoy doing but here's some suggestions...
We don't think so, and it all depends on what you enjoy doing but here's some suggestions...
- The Auckland War Memorial Museum has stunning views of the city and visiting exhibitions.
- The Viaduct is the smartest eating area where you go to be seen as much as anything. So long as you can afford the carparking the rest is great.
- Drive out to Piha and take in the stunning scenery, hire a board and surf or just climb Lion Rock. This is one of my favourite places.

You can get all the train timetables from Maxx. This list tells you why you'd want to get off!
- Britomart - the central Auckland station with the CBD, ferries, the works.
- Newmarket - the fashion precinct in Auckland. Be seen and spend heaps - shops for every wallet, but it's more fun if its fatter.
- Boston Rd - used by students at Auckland Grammar and St Peters, and visitors to Mt Eden Prison. Close enough to the Hospitals and the Museum as well.
- Mt Eden - but no where near the shops. The adjacent pub is great though.
- Kingsland - think Eden Park, think Rugby
- Morningside - a short stroll to St Lukes shopping centre or to Fowlds Park, but this stop is really just for the locals.
- Baldwin Ave - again just for the locals, but used by students at Marist or Mt Albert Grammar, there's a dairy nearby (for kiddie icecreams) and it's a short walk to Rocket Park which has a great playground.
- Mt Albert - close to the shops (but nothing great there) and Unitec.
- Avondale - out on limb from the shops - a locals only stop.
- New Lynn - stops right beside the large mall and the bus depot so a great hub for getting somewhere else.
- Fruitvale Rd
- Glen Eden - stops at the suburban shops.
- Sunnyvale
- Henderson - stops beside the shopping mall
- Sturges Rd
- Ranui
- Swanson
- Waitakere
