Solo travel

Loved my time there. It was a bit rainy but the rest was great. I met a friend over there that brought me around the area close to Auckland and it is just stunning. I went to Waieke island too, to do a wine tasting! Amazing!

Solo travel

Overall, Auckland was a very nice start for my one year of work & travel. I was in the Haka house hostel in the K’road, where they were very helpful if I had any questions and I had a lot in the beginning 😂 In the night, the K’road it’s very loud with a lot of homeless people and you hear a lot of police sirens, but it was never a problem and I’ve never failed unsafe going out even though the homeless people were right next to me…. The Haka House itself is very clean. Everybody’s very friendly...

Solo travel

Auckland is nice. It's just that they don't have a lot of stuff to see. You're only gonna need a week for the experience. At least that's what it was like for me. Mount Eden is very nice though. The art museum is also very interesting.

Solo travel

Auckland is a very city, due to many construction sites it makes the city a little bit ugly. I can recommend to stay at lylos, but everywhere in the city you can find very cool and young people. Just be open minded! If we wouldn’t not have been in a big group in the night, i really wouldn’t have felt safe, because some spooky people are around there. I also recommend Mount Eden, amazing view!

Generally safe, unless it’s night. If you’re in the cbd, be aware of a large number of drug addicts and unhoused which can act irrationally or violently. If you are walking in a group you’ll be fine.

I think overall all Auckland feels like a quite safe city but there are a lot of homeless people so you often get asked for money, cigarettes, food, etc. Especially in the nighttime you hear a lot of police around the whole city and in the morning you see the police talking to homeless people…. but I would definitely recommend viewing Auckland as a solo traveler or with other people:)

Mostly safe stay away from K road and drunk late night people. You need to stay safe in buses these days. I recommend pepper spray for any serious incidents. I will not go alone late night anyway so can't recommend.

Only passing through however it seems relatively safe and the normal precautions that I would take in any other city stand, don’t leave things in a parked car, leave drinks unattended, make sure friends get home safely etc.
