Built on the remains of 48 extinct volcanoes, Auckland is geographically unique, like much of amazing New Zealand. Because of its maritime history, the city is also called the City of Sails. Volcanic bays, beaches, islands, skyscrapers, and harbours make up Auckland's landscape. A water lover's paradise, the city is famous for its pristine beaches, and unlimited water sports opportunities such as windsurfing, diving, snorkelling, fishing, and sailing. So, when in Auckland, visit the Sky Tower, tallest free-standing tower in the Southern Hemisphere, from where you can see the whole city, as well as take part in the Sky Jump, a controlled base-jump. Other places to check out include the New Zealand National Maritime Museum, the Auckland Art Gallery, and Auckland Zoo, The StarDome Observatory, and Kelly Tarlton's, which is home to Antarctic Encounter and Underwater World.
