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!

Auckland is one of the places I will never forget. For those who don’t know Auckland is the biggest city in New Zealand and there is a high chance that your plane arrives in this city, so why don’t stay a couple of days/weeks there to adjust to the New Zealand culture? You can go shopping, eat/drink at a cafe in the middle of the centrum or you can go to many parks that are close to the centrum. I have stayed in and around Auckland for three months for a study. New Zealand is the best place I have visited this year and Auckland is one of the factors for my positive experience. The only negative I can give you is that the public transport is very bad. For example, trains get switched out for busses over the weekend or busses don’t show up at the time it is stated in the app. You can also only use public transport if you have an AT hop card. So if you are going to New Zealand and you are deciding if you should stay in Auckland for the beginning of your road trip then I hope you can make that decision now after you read my review.
Posted: June 19, 2023Such a great city and friendly/accesible to solo female travelers! Easy access to nature (via ferries), wineries and city life. Public transportation is intuitive. I recommend going to visit the islands and going to the west coast beaches (Piha and karekare).

Auckland, like any city, has its safety concerns, but overall it’s considered relatively safe for women. As in any urban area, it’s essential to be aware of your surroundings, take common-sense precautions, and use well-lit, populated areas, especially at night. The New Zealand government and local authorities continuously work to maintain and improve safety measures for all residents and visitors.
Posted: May 2, 2024Most parts are relatively safe. Areas such as the North Shore and central suburbs are safer than other areas such as West and south Auckland in terms of walking around at night. As with any city, some areas are better than others.

Hi, my name is Elsie! I’m about to move to Auckland for a year to work as an au pair and I wanted to join this app to see what it’s all about before I get there!
- I have lived in Auckland all my life, so I know all the best places. - Waiheke Island for a wine tour. I would recommend booking a tour, and they usually pick you up from the ferry when you arrive on the island. The ferry is less than an hour. - Head west to Piha. See the black beaches and go for a hike. - Visit Mission Bay. It's close to the city center. It has a few charming restaurants overlooking Rangitoto. I recommend the Mexican place. - Go out for drinks in Viaduct. I recommend Coops. It has ice-based cocktails for 10 dollars which are topped with candy. They are incredible. - Climb up Mt Eden and see the view. - War Memorial Museum. - Auckland Zoo/Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium. - Coromandel - go for a couple of days and explore all the towns and admire all the amazing views! It's just a few hours from Auckland.
