Lonely Planet: New Zealand - Auckland (ebook Chapter)
It's hard to imagine a more geographically blessed city than Auckland. Its two harbours frame an isthmus punctuated by volcanic cones and surrounded by fertile farmland. Within an hour's drive of the city there are dense tracts of rainforest, thermal springs, wineries and wildlife reserves.
Coverage includes: Sights, Activities, Tours, Festivals & Events, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping, Hauraki Gulf Islands, around Auckland and Goat Island Marine Reserve.
