> Wynyard Quarter - This revived and pedestrianised waterfront precinct is brimming with harbourside eateries, gelato parlours, surprising silos, modern play areas and funky green spaces to sit and relax. There’s also a cute Container Library where you can swap and borrow books, or simply sit and read one.

> Auckland Fish Market - A 96-year old building with the Sandford & Son fishmonger at its heart and plenty of contemporary eateries, too. With a décor that pulls in as much natural light as possible, it feels alfresco while being protected from the elements. Dishes are as simplistic as mussels and frites and as polished as freshly caught lobster.
> Silo Park - The six silos at the end tip of Wynyard Quarter were once used as giant containers to store cement. Silo 6 is now an art and exhibition space while Silo 7 comes alive throughout summer when free Friday night movies are projected onto its enormous cylinder. Complemented by food stalls and night markets.
> Viaduct Harbour - A bustling marina of modern bars and restaurants, bordered by glamorous yachts and shimmering, sparkling water.
> Holey Moley - Mixing mini-golf with cocktails, play 27 creative holes in a disco setting. You can’t miss Holey Moley’s cool and prominent position on Viaduct Harbour.
> Lightworx Gallery - This cutting-edge exhibition primarily features illuminated artworks using light installations and the feel-good factor shines bright.
> Rooftop Bars - With shimmering vistas over the water, bars such as Dr Rudi’s, Saint Alice and Parasol and Swing all boast elevated decks. For something extra lofty, the rooftop bar at QT Hotel has an open terrace and far-reaching city views.
