Introduction

The Viaduct Harbour in the waterfront area of central Auckland is a lively spot that gathers various bars, restaurants, hotels, and apartments. Beautiful yachts moored in the harbor become perfect places for photos. Choosing a waterfront restaurant here, enjoying the beautiful sea view and food is one of the most delightful experiences. You can also visit the Maritime Museum of New Zealand to appreciate the essence of maritime history. On the east side of the Viaduct Harbor, there is a white cloud-shaped building originally built for the 2011 Rugby World Cup and now a popular venue for exhibitions, celebrations, and fashion shows. On the west side of the Viaduct Harbour is the Wynyard Quarter waterfront new area, which is connected to the Viaduct Harbour by a suspension bridge. The famous Auckland Fish Market is located there, selling various fresh seasonal seafood such as lobsters, oysters, mussels, and fish and shrimp, among which the Blue Cod fish (known as bamboo shell in the local Chinese community) is particularly delicious. Heading west from Wynyard Quarter, you will arrive at the Westhaven Marina, where countless yachts and sailboats are moored, fully demonstrating Auckland's reputation as the "City of Sails".
