New Zealand's largest city reveals its volcanic origins through the ridges of old lava found throughout its streets. British and other Europeans, a large Asian population and more Polynesians than anywhere else in the world all make significant contributions to Auckland's culture. As soon as you toss in that rich multicultural mix, you realize that Auckland is an almost unique place on the map. Auckland is the major gateway to the enchanting North Island of New Zealand, but the city itself features plenty of its own diversions, enough to keep travellers on cheap holidays to Auckland entertained and happy for the duration of their travel.

Auckland is a sophisticated city with glorious beaches, a vibrant waterfront and an almost-perfect mild maritime climate. The narrow isthmus that Auckland straddles provides the city with much of its charm, with neighbourhoods weaving their way alongside scenic bays and harbours. Even Auckland's rugged hills are actually ancient volcanic cones, formed during the dozens of eruptions that created the isthmus long ago.

The city's Domain Park is a must-see for any traveller on cheap holidays to Auckland. Its semi-formal gardens, sculptured pathways and ponds are located on an extinct volcano, something you don't encounter every day. The Graeco-Roman Auckland Museum within the park showcases Pacific peoples, featuring cultural performances and one of the country's most important collections of Maori and other Polynesian artefacts.

The Auckland Art Gallery houses New Zealand's largest collections of indigenous and international art, while the waterfront National Maritime Museum honours the island country's maritime history. Its display covers everything from the arrival of the Maori through to the invention of the jet boat and the 2000 America's Cup.

Some daring visitors on cheap holidays to Auckland walk the girders of the towering Harbour Bridge or bungee-jump towards the water from the bridge. Others take the lift to the breathtaking views atop the Sky Tower, almost 330m high, and some even bungee-jump from its dizzying height. Although a bit tamer, some adventuresome visitors ascend the grassy slopes of Mt. Eden, Auckland's highest volcano, to have a look into the mouth of its crater.
