Auckland suggestions

[Maple30]

We're on the Princess Dawn on the 12th Jan, and we're looking for suggestions for Auckland. We're interested in the art gallery, but I'm looking for more suggestions on what to do. Does the ship dock near the city, and how far away is it? Any suggestions greatly appreciated, although my husband would be thrilled to have a day of rest on the ship! :D

Well, if you dock at the main wharf, you are right in the city centre.

 

Hopefully, someone will upload a photo for you.

15 minutes walk to the gallery and we enjoy our visits to it

The Hop On - Hop Off bus stop right outside the wharf. This is a regular service that visits all the main tourist spots in Auckland and very worthwhile if you are a newbie to Auckland.

Of cours the "Sky Tower" is within easy walking distance from the ship. Also worth a visit as is the Museum in The Domain.

Heaps to do in Auckland, yours is the choice. Enjoy.

Just a heads up for whats ahead in Auckland...

Be prepared for big changes and upheveals in the City. The underground rail system is about to get underway and will result in some street changes and closures .

The Downtown Shopping Centre is going , and after the rail is put underground a massive glass tower will rise in its place. Albert Street will be trenched for the rail to go through.

This was one of my favourite photos from when we visited Auckland on the Voyager in 2014.

I use Photobucket dot com.

Upload your images to the site where they are stored in an album.

Select an image and find edit icon and resize to 800+600.

Click on IMG wait until it says copied then paste on here.

A lovely walk is to head straight up Queen street and then when you get to Star Bucks, head left and go up into the Albert Park with its lovely gardens and then head back down towards the pier area past the Uni and such, you will get past the train station (worth a look) and be back by the main area. The sky tower is also a great place to get some views and adventure if needed.:D
