Auckland Destination Guide

Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, a vibrant city filled with a myriad of experiences for both locals and visitors alike! As you gather for the Lightbox Radiology event in March 2024, take some time to explore the diverse offerings this great city has to offer.

Auckland is a multi-cultural urban oasis of food, music, arts and culture.

It has a boatload of quirky and hidden gems that offer unique experiences. Here are five offbeat attractions to explore:

Lopdell House Clock Tower:

Climb to the top of the Lopdell House Clock Tower in Titirangi for a fantastic view of Auckland. This hidden gem is part of the Lopdell Precinct, which also includes art galleries and creative spaces. The clock tower is not only an interesting architectural feature but also offers a less-explored viewpoint of the city.

Wintergarden at Auckland Domain:

While the Auckland Domain itself is a well-known park, the Wintergarden within it is a hidden delight. The Wintergarden features two beautiful Victorian-style glasshouses with a variety of tropical and temperate plants. It's a serene and somewhat hidden spot within the larger park, perfect for a peaceful stroll.

Auckland Night Markets:

Auckland hosts various night markets at different locations throughout the week. These markets feature a mix of international street food, crafts, and live entertainment. It's a great way to experience the city's diverse cultural offerings while enjoying an evening stroll.

K Road (Karangahape Road):

Known as K Road, Karangahape Road is a dynamic and eclectic area that comes to life at night. It's home to an array of bars, clubs, and live music venues. Whether you're into live performances, alternative culture, or vibrant nightlife, K Road has something for everyone.

Auckland Stardome Observatory:

For a unique night-time experience, head to the Stardome Observatory in One Tree Hill. They offer stargazing sessions and planetarium shows, providing a fascinating journey through the night sky. It's an excellent way to explore the cosmos right in the heart of the city.

These hidden gems offer a different perspective on Auckland, showcasing the city's creativity, natural beauty, and unique attractions beyond the usual tourist spots.
