Auckland Nightlife

A cultural melting pot, Auckland has a particularly lively and diverse entertainment scene, although prices are not cheap compared to other capital cities worldwide. Many of the smarter Auckland nightlife venues are on the waterfront, in particular around Viaduct Harbour; new harbourside developments at Wynyard Quarter and Queens Wharf are also hotspots. If you like your nightlife loud and with no-frills, Queen Street and Karangahape Road (K Road) are the places to go, though it can get rough late at night.
