• Mount Eden - Mount Eden / Maungawhau

A volcanic cone offering stunning 360° views of the city and harbor.

A site of cultural importance to the Māori, featuring historical remnants.

• North Head - North Head (Māori: Maungauika; officially Maungauika and sometimes referred to as Maungauika / North Head) is a volcano and Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral mountain) forming a headland at the eastern end of the Waitematā Harbour in Auckland, New Zealand, in the suburb of Devonport. Known for its expansive views over the harbor and the Hauraki Gulf, since 1885, the headland was primarily used by the military as a coastal defense installation, leaving behind a network of accessible old bunkers and tunnels, which are part of the attraction. The site was protected as part of Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park in 1972 and listed as a Category I historic place in 2001. As part of a 2014 Treaty of Waitangi claim settlement, the volcanic cone was officially named Maungauika, and the reserve unofficially renamed Maungauika / North Head Historic Reserve.
• Auckland Harbour Bridge - The original inner four lanes, opened in 1959, are of box truss construction. Two lanes were added to each side in 1968–1969 and are of orthotropic box structure construction, extending as cantilevers from the original piers. The bridge is 1,020 m (3,348 ft) long, with a main span of 243.8 meters (800 feet) rising 43.27 meters (142 feet) above high water, allowing ships access to the deepwater wharf at the Chelsea Sugar Refinery, one of the few such wharves west of the bridge.

While often considered an Auckland icon, many view the construction of the bridge without walking, cycling, or rail facilities as an oversight. In 2016, an add-on structure providing a walk-and-cycleway called SkyPath received Council funding approval and planning consent, but was not built. In 2021, a stand-alone walking and cycling bridge called the Northern Pathway was announced by the New Zealand Government, but also was not built.

Approximately 170,000 vehicles cross the bridge each day.

• Parnell Rose Gardens - Also known as the Dove Myer Robinson Park, the gardens boast over 5000 roses, creating a vibrant display of color throughout summer and autumn. It is a popular attraction in the suburb of Parnell, not far from downtown Auckland. The adjacent Nancy Steen Garden contains a collection of heritage roses, while the white garden is a favored venue for weddings. A wonderful place to visit.
• Winter Garden Auckland Domain - The Domain Wintergardens were constructed following World War I with funds generated from the Industrial, Agricultural and Mining Exhibition of 1913-1914 (which was held at the same site). Additional funding for the Wintergardens came from a variety of other local benefactors. Perhaps most significantly was local businessman Sir George Elliot, who was the chairman of the exhibition, and also chairman of the Bank of New Zealand.

The Auckland Domain had been a public park since 1844 but was considered to be an area frequented by “undesirables”. The Wintergardens were part of the gentrification of the park, providing an attraction for people in the area during the winter months.

• Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park - Situated off Tamaki Drive near Mission Bay, The Michael Joseph Savage Memorial Park is set amongst 49 hectares of land with impressive panoramic views overlooking Waitemata Harbour and Rangitoto Island.

The tall obelisk, sunken pool, and landscaped gardens serve as a memorial to New Zealand’s first Labour Prime Minister (1872 - 1940) and the founder of the Welfare State.

In 1860, 1879, and 1880, Ngati Whatua leaders Tuhaere and Te Kawau assembled many North Island chiefs at the Kohimaramara Conference to establish a Maori Parliament. They sought redress on land issues and equality under the law. In the 1930s, the Maori sought remedy through Michael Savage, the serving Prime Minister of the Labour Government. With Maori support, Labour entered Parliament for the first time, beginning a long-standing relationship.

The park offers visitors sweeping views of Auckland’s city skyline and is a popular spot with coach tours and tourists.
