A historic spot of great significance both to the Maori people of New Zealand as well as to the British settlers who arrived here, Mount Eden is Auckland’s tallest volcano – as well as the name of the suburb that lies to its side. Once used as a Maori defensive citadel, the mountain still witnesses Maori rituals that are regularly performed here on the terraced steps cut into the landscape.

5. Auckland Domain

A public garden that dates all the way back to 1860, Auckland Domain (known by locals simply as The Domain) was once a Maori 'pa' – a defended settlement where tribesmen would grow crops and store their food. The 75 hectares of volcanic landscape remains captivating, home to naturally formed amphitheatres where visitors come to play sports as well as admire the exotic trees and native bushland, fed by the rich and fertile volcanic soil.
