Breathtaking Views Of The City Of Sails, Mount Eden In Auckland NZ

Mount Eden is an absolute must do if you’re in Auckland, no matter how short your trip is! Auckland has an iconic skyline and this is the best way to see it, especially at night! It is also a very important place for New Zealand and its Māori population, holding a spiritual place in the history of the city.

There are various entrances to the mount but some of them
Close early, around 6PM so if you want to drive check the times ahead. We parked on a nearby street and walked up the Mount, don’t underestimate it it doesn’t look as steep as it is.

Follow the signs to the top and make sure you stay on the paths, going into the hollow / crater of the Mount is very disrespectful to the history and Māori heritage.

The top of the Mount offers 360 views of the city and on a clear night you can see every part of Auckland with the city illuminated in the distance. In the daytime you can also see why the city gets its nickname as the city of sails, there are boats everywhere!

It’s a great spot for photos and there’s lots of space to just relax, but remember to take your trash with you or use the bins provided!
