With two picture-perfect harbors accentuating the city, Auckland is a charming metropolis with a dramatic cityscape. No wonder many tourists are fond of its city views, which are more magical at night. To enjoy uninterrupted city scenery, the Sky Tower is the structure to climb. If it’s nightlife you’re after, you might want to breeze through Viaduct Harbour. There, you’ll find plenty of trendy nightspots. Besides modern attractions, Auckland is filled with cozy green spaces that are popular with families and couples on a romantic getaway. These include the oldest park in the city, Auckland Domain, the dreamy Auckland Botanic Gardens, and the centrally located Albert Park, to name a few. Planning a visit anytime soon?
