Auckland hits the top 10 in world best-cities list
Auckland has been rated one of the world's top 10 cities to visit by travel bible Lonely Planet. The city, which attracts 1.8 million foreign visitors a year, sits alongside iconic places including Paris, Zurich, Shanghai and Vancouver in the ninth annual Best in Travel guide (from: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/travel/new...ectid=11147736) Well, well. I reckon one or two posters might have a thing or two to say about that. :rofl: |

If you were flying to NZ for a holiday then it's worth spending a few days in Auckland rather than just flying straight to the South Island. |

Reading the Herald piece I noted that LP rate the shopping in AKL highly????
Clearly they have made that one up. Wellington is so much better for shopping than Auckland, even if you consider all the "centres" in the City as one place, when they are a good bus ride apart. I agree with SR, the NZ media have chosen to over-blow a positive story about NZ. Nothing unusual there......... |

So I can expect to see Hamilton make the list soon, then?
:rofl: I struggle to enjoy Auckland because I just hate traffic hassles, but I remain convinced there's a beautiful city there I'm missing out on- it's just once one makes it to Manukau, one is just as well to get on a plane and go to a much better city somewhere else, no? |
