Step back in time at Parnell Village, Auckland’s oldest suburb, where cobbled lanes lead to galleries, cafés, and the fragrant Parnell Rose Gardens. Continue to Auckland Domain, the city’s oldest park, where open green spaces offer a peaceful escape amid the urban hum. Here, history and tranquillity blend perfectly, showing another side of this vibrant city.

Dive deeper into the story of Aotearoa at Auckland Museum, where Māori heritage takes centre stage through artefacts, performances, and captivating storytelling.
