Auckland is New Zealand's biggest and most populated city. Almost completely surrounded by water, the aptly-named 'City of Sails' is a thriving multicultural metropolis offering shopping, nightlife and delicious pacific rim cuisine. It is a city of a million people of all nationalities, but you are never far from nature or excitement. A short ferry journey away is Waiheke Island, with fantastic wineries, cafés, local art, and a relaxed pace of lifestyle.
