- Bay of Islands
For sheer beauty, the Bay of Islands wins the day for North Island coastal scenery. In the far north of the island, it is a giant bay peppered with 150 islands which, miraculously, have escaped development. Beware, though, tourists come to the mainland in their masses - although this means there are activities and amusements galore.
- Auckland Art Gallery
A delightful mixture of indigenous art - Maori and settlers' - with a sprinkling of the international, the Auckland Art Gallery is a great success. Tall white neo-classical walls house the renovated interior and a series of pleasantly-sized galleries, showing off both the permanent collection and visiting exhibitions.
- Te Papa Museum
Te Papa is one of the few museums in the world that can claim to have been built from scratch in the last decade. Opened in 1998, New Zealand's National Museum is widely regarded as one of the finest in the world.
- Sky Tower
Sky Tower is New Zealand's leading man-made wonder. At 328 metres (over 1000 feet) it is the tallest structure in the southern hemisphere. Tall and very thin, on windy days it can sway up to one metre from side to side. Visitors can take a lift to the very top, or even jump - certainly not for the faint-hearted!
- Auckland Town Hall
Originally modelled on Leipzig's Gewandhaus, Auckland's Town Hall is the city's most important (and impressive) heritage building. Designed by architects J J & E Clarke, it was officially opened in 1911. It now forms one of the four constituent parts of The Edge centre, alongside the Civic Theatre, Aotea Centre and Aotea Square, Auckland's artistic powerhouse.
