Introduction to Auckland

They say that Auckland has a weight problem. Its one of the biggest cities in the world, The bulk of the city hangs out over the tight belted isthmus and the bulk continues further. They say that the head of the city cannot see its toes. With the towering Sky Tower and the volcanic cone giving the city its unique appearance, they are also said to define the city's character and reveal its soul. The stunning coastline and its peaceful suburbs as well as the sophisticated city centre, give this city a truly unique touch that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. They say that Auckland is made up of 4 smaller cities, the North Shore, Waitakere, Auckland and the Manukau which straddle the isthmus of land at the narrowest part of New Zealand, being only 9 km that separates the Tasman Sea with the Pacific Ocean. Over 25% of the population of New Zealand live in Auckland. The Maori were the first to live here in the densely forested land of Auckland before all the Europeans and Asians as well as the Polynesians arrived. Auckland now plays host to the largest Polynesian enclave in all the world. The landscape around Auckland has been scarred by over 50 volcanoes that erupted down through the centuries. The last time the volcano erupted was 600 years ago and it gave birth to the island of Rangitoto. Among the other locations in New Zealand offered by Global Hotels are:Christchruch Hotels.
