Auckland is known throughout the world as a sailing city. Half marina and half urban area, it is located on a narrow strip of land bordering the Pacific Ocean and is perfectly situated for practicing water sports in its beautiful ports and bays. It is a cosmopolitan city with an attractive nightlife, and fashion and arts scene. It is close to other parts of New Zealand so it is a perfect starting point for tours of the island. Only minutes away you can be on a quiet, secluded beach or exploring a native forest on a sub-tropical island; it all depends on the road you take.
