Auckland is the biggest metropolitan area in both Polynesia and New Zealand and a lively city with multicultural influence. It's situated between two natural harbours, the Waitemata Harbour and the Manukau Harbour and it's often referred to as the City of Sails, as it has the highest number of boats per head of population in the world. In the city centre, there's a good few galleries, museums, theatres, trendy bars, and top class restaurants which offer a wide range of food. The Skytower dominates the city’s skyline and offers a cracking view of the city. Queen Street, the commercial hub area, starts at Waitemata Harbour and runs for nearly three kilometres in a straight line. From the city centre you can walk to the Auckland Domain and the Museum, Albert Park, Parnell, a lovely historic area, and up to Newmarket with its many shops. From there it's not far to Mt. Eden and its impressive crater, and to Cornwall Park which is at the foot of the famous One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill, an extinct volcano cone and ancient Maori settlement offers great panoramic views of this sprawling city. Cosmopolitan and charming, Auckland is easy to get to, beautiful, and with plenty to do. It's definitely New Zealand's most lively city.

Christchurch is the largest city on the South Island of New Zealand, and the third most populated urban area in the country. It's located a third of the way down the east coast of the South Island, just north of Banks Peninsula. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS • Christchurch Cathedral, built between 1864 and 1904 in Cathedral Square, and its replacement, the "Cardboard Cathedral", at 234 Hereford Street, a short walk north-west of its beloved predecessor. • Arts Centre. Gothic Revival stonework of the former University campus. However, the beauty and historical significance of these buildings can still be appreciated by viewing them from surrounding streets such as Worcester Boulevard and Hereford Street. The excellent Canterbury Cheesemongers still operates from a modern building within its precincts. • Botanic Gardens. • Canterbury Museum. Sections on Maori and natural history, an Antarctic exploration display, and visiting exhibitions. • Ferrymead Heritage Park. A recreated Edwardian township and museum with horse and carriage, tram and train rides. Due to the voluntary nature of the historical societies managing Ferrymead, not all attractions may be running at all times. • International Antarctic Centre. A world-class Antarctic experience with simulated polar weather, Hagglund All-Terrain Vehicle ride, penguins, extensive exhibits about Antarctic science missions, cafe and gift shop. • Orana Wildlife Park. New Zealand's largest wildlife sanctuary and conservation project featuring endangered animals from around the world. The park's design minimises fences and cages in favour of natural boundaries and habitats. • Willowbank Wildlife Reserve • Yaldhurst Museum. Mostly interesting for its collection of over 150 classic and vintage vehicles. • Riccarton Bush. The last remaining forest remnant on the Canterbury plains is in Christchurch city. If your time is limited in NZ, this is a great way to experience an example of the country's native forests. • Earthquake Tourism Tours of affected sites both inside and outside the "red zone" are available. Visitors can also make their own way to sites of particular significance such as Christchurch Cathedral; the Catholic Basilica and the construction site of the Cardboard Cathedral.
