I can’t say enough good things about the Kiwi people – their friendly attitude and willingness to help made visiting Auckland’s City Center a great experience. The City Center is a small’ish area that is very walkable (about 20 minutes end-to-end). Shops line Queen Street with everything from high-end goods to locally sourced goods and souvenirs.
Whether you’re visiting by air or as a port-of-call on one of the many cruise ships visiting Auckland, the city center is a great place to experience the culture, good food, and shopping in New Zealand.
