Auckland: Volcanic Cones, Cultural Landmarks & Harbour Horizons

Straddling a narrow volcanic isthmus between the Waitematā and Manukau harbours, Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau) is shaped by water, island horizons and dozens of green volcanic cones. You can climb from leafy neighbourhood streets to terraced summit craters, explore major Māori and Pacific cultural collections in the city centre, and follow the shoreline from working yacht basins to Pohutukawa-lined beaches facing Rangitoto Island. This map brings together twelve signature places across the central isthmus, the eastern bays and the North Shore.
