Best Places to Visit in Auckland CBD

Best Places to Visit in Auckland CBD

Many backpackers arrive in Auckland when they start their holiday. Most stay in hostels that are in the CBD area so I made this guide to point out general areas to check out. There's a mixture of nature, shopping areas, food spots, history and more. This guide shows the 20 of the best places or areas to visit in the Auckland Commercial Business District. There are 15 additional places to check out that are located outside the CBD area while you're visiting Auckland.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Solo female backpacker ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ด๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ Licensed skydiver ๐Ÿช‚ Former K-6 educator ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐Ÿซ Van life ๐Ÿš US expat ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โœˆ๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ I am a solo female traveler who LOVES to try new things. To me, life is a compilation of experiments with a goal towards self-discovery. I value personal growth and adventure through travel and hope to service others in their own journey. Being up for experimenting and trying new things wasn't always the case. I was a perfectionist who did not want to mess up in fear of rejection and damaging my self-worth. It took a lot of self-love and patience to build the confidence that I have today. I worked my way up from a completely guided tour to living abroad alone in a van. See my timeline below. If I can do it, you can do it and I'm here to help support you through that. Travel History: 2005 - First international trip to Vietnam (with the family) 2013 - South America for the first time for a study abroad trip in Bolivia 2017 - Guided solo trip (2 months in Vietnam) 2020 - Couples trip to Canada (ended early because of COVID ๐Ÿ˜ข) 2022 - Improvised solo trips to Italy and Vietnam 2023 - Moved abroad alone to New Zealand...and started living in a campervan full-time Cheers, Mai
