Not hard to believe given the incredible mix of forests, beaches, and buildings the biggest city in New Zealand flaunts. Whoever you are, whatever you want, you\u2019re guaranteed to fall in love with this kiwi gem, just like the M\u0101ori people did thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of Auckland, you can find the CBD, Central Business District, the perfect place to watch people in suits go and make deals while you\u2019re sipping on your coffee in a cute European-style caf\u00e9. This is the place to stay if you want to be close to the city\u2019s main attractions, including the breath-taking Sky Tower, a stunning observation point or a thrilling source of fun &#8211; if you\u2019re brave enough to jump from there. Ponsonby is an unmissable hipster neighbourhood, the perfect place if you value good coffee, good beer, and good music. Right before sunset, as the sky starts turning pink, you should climb up Mount Eden, the city volcano \u2013 yeah, that\u2019s a thing! Admire Auckland lazily stretching into the ocean as the sailboats rock back and forth and when it starts getting a bit chilly, just throw that sweater over your shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Hostels in Auckland are around \u00a315 per night and often offer outdoor spaces to relax with a cold beer on a sunny day. One feature you need to look out for is free parking, as it can be quite expensive. You definitely don\u2019t need to worry about a good atmosphere and fun times though, as they are guaranteed pretty much everywhere in Auckland.
