Welcome to Auckland

Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, set between two harbours and surrounded by beaches, islands and volcanic landscapes. Known in Māori as Tāmaki Makaurau, it offers a vibrant dining scene, a thriving arts and culture community and a walkable city centre along the waterfront. Ferries connect the city to nearby destinations such as Devonport and Waiheke Island, making it easy to explore beyond the meeting. Whether you have an afternoon or a few extra days, Auckland offers plenty to see and do.
