Tens of thousands of us would have headed to Sydney this year for a holiday. Here s why a staycation in Auckland is better.
The City of Sails is also the City of Astoundingly Diverse Scenery, making its walks more of a pleasure than an exercise in endurance. Although if you’re up for a challenge, the City of Volcanoes, as Auckland is also known, won’t disappoint. Tāmaki Drive, Cornwall Park and those 50-plus volcanoes are all excellent choices for a wander, but you’ll find some of the city’s most picturesque – and peaceful – walks in the regional parks at its furthest reaches.
