Come and discover what’s new in Auckland. Art lovers will be intrigued by the rich cultural life: Māori and Paheka artists, and Pasifika artists settled in the world’s largest Polynesian city, are thriving. The Māori name for Auckland is Tāmaki Makaurau—‘desired by many’—because of its beauty and natural abundance. Set between two magnificent harbours, New Zealand’s largest city hums with life. From the West Coast’s black sand beaches to Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf, from bustling gritty Karangahape Road to sophisticated downtown restaurants, from op shops to design icons, Auckland has it all.
