New Zealand’s indigenous Māori people called this land Tāmaki Makau Rau,<br />

desired by many and fought over for its riches. With three magnificent natural<br />

harbours and an abundance of resources, its landscape boasts the vantage points<br />

of nearly 50 volcanic cones and sheltered gulf waters. With European settlement<br />

came the rise of <strong>Auckland</strong> as a 19th century port and for a time the nation’s<br />

capital. It has always been the most international of New Zealand cities. Today<br />

<strong>Auckland</strong> is home to more than 1.5 million people and has played host to millions<br />

more from around the world.<br />

So welcome to <strong>Auckland</strong>, a place where you will find beautiful landscapes and<br />

beaches, outstanding food and wine, great shopping, exciting nightlife and plenty<br />

of action and adventure.<br />
