Auckland’s city centre is easily explored on foot, starting at the waterfront, which epitomises the lively feel of the city. In the heart of the downtown waterfront, the New Zealand National Maritime Museum explains the country’s age-old relationship with the sea. The Skytower, New Zealand’s tallest building, stands 328m (107ft) high and offers breathtaking views over the harbour and city. The tower is part of the Sky City complex, which also has a casino, cafes, bars and a restaurant. The city’s main art gallery, Auckland City Art Gallery, has the largest collections of both native and international art in the country. Auckland Domain is Auckland’s oldest, largest (81 hectares/202 acres) and most attractive park, with gardens and statues, pathways and ponds, a Wintergarden, and the Fernz Fernery, with over 100 types of fern. The nearby Auckland Museum combines the nation’s past and present with the latest in new technology.
