Auckland Travel Blogs and Road Trip Planners

Visiting Auckland, is a great experience because of the sheer beauty of the entire country and this volcanic land with islands on the outskirts. Many destinations in the area are distant from one another, so it is wise to rent a car to get from spot to spot. The city offers many incentives to visit from monuments like the 60 story Sky Tower with its rotating views and restaurant at the top to the interesting and engaging museums like The New Zealand Maritime Museum and the Auckland War Memorial Museum. With a rental car you also have the freedom to venture outside the city and see incredible sights like for fans of Tolkien and all things Middle Earth you can check out Hobbiton movie set tours visit this sheep farm and see the actual sets used for the Shire in The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit movies.
