Victoria Street WestBest on a nice day to get a view of Auckland from above
The view from the top is a great way to get perspective on where everything is in Auckland without having to pay a cent. Great walks around the park area as well as the walk to the top, but if you're not feeling up to it you can also drive to the top. Lots of parking available and shared BBQ areas available for picnics.
