Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand. It has a population of just under a million people and is located on North Island. This seaport is an essential centre for business and industry. It is also the most dynamic and multicultural city in New Zealand.
The history of the city goes back 650 years when the Maoris settled in the area. European settlement began in 1840 when the British arrived. New Zealand’s first governor, Captain William Hobson, made Auckland the capital. Later, the capital moved to Wellington, because it was more central. Since 1945 the city of Auckland has grown and it now has large modern suburbs.
Furthermore, Auckland is also an interesting place to visit because of its famous sights, such as Mt Eden, one of many large volcanic hills, other places is the beautiful Auckland domain which is famous for its large palm tree and exotic plants. In addition for those who likes to see the Maoris traditional dances can pay a visit to the Auckland Museum.
In the end, Auckland is amazing place; not only because it’s rich of culture but also rich of beautiful scenery.
