Portraits of Auckland

Auckland offers so many positives that without a doubt it is one of the world’s best places to live.

A book of 120 images celebrates what is the essence of Auckland: A diverse and vibrant community sharing a beautiful location.

Well connected to the world but not too close for comfort, here we can live our own lives and build our own futures.

Viewed from the top Auckland’s regional topography includes 50 volcano craters, 3200km of coastline, plus some beautiful islands and several densely forested ranges to escape to

Auckland’s weather makes it a year-round outdoor city, with plenty of places to exercise and play sports

From global brands to local designers, the shopping is on par with anywhere in the world

Its great diversity of people means a great diversity of food; from Mediterranean to Mongolian to Argentinian and anything in between

Movies and concerts cater to every taste, but at heart Auckland is uniquely ‘South Pacific’

Some things are timeless; this same photo could have been taken 50 years earlier.
