City Facts
As you fly into Auckland, New
Zealand's gateway city -- and its largest -- you might wonder just
where the city is. First-time visitors and natives alike are
impressed by the seascape and green forest that dominate the view on
the approach to the airport. Much of Auckland's charm lies in
the fact that you can enjoy a cappuccino in a downtown café
watching the city bustle pass you by -- knowing that within 30
minutes' driving time you could be cruising the spectacular harbor,
playing a round at a public golf course, or even walking in
subtropical forest while listening to the song of a tui (too-ee),
one of the native birds.
Airports
AKL - Auckland International
Airport
Ground Transportation
From the Airport:
Auckland airport is 21km
south-west of the city centre. A free shuttle service operates
between the international and domestic terminals. The Airbus Shuttle
runs a scheduled service every 20 minutes between the airport and
Downtown Auckland and calls at most major hotels. The approximate
cost is NZ$13 per person. Door-to-door shuttles also operate to and
from the airport for approximately NZ$20 for one person and NZ$25 for
two. A taxi to/from the airport will cost around NZ$50.
About the town:
Transport around the heart of
Auckland is as easy as jumping on the Link Bus. Circulating both
clockwise and anticlockwise around the inner city area, the Link Bus
service can take you from the city to Parnell, Newmarket, Grafton,
Karangahape Road, Ponsonby and back. Hop on the Explorer Bus for
sightseeing and to see the big 14 attractions in Auckland city.
