Must-Sees from the Editors of
Travel + Leisure
Parnell Rose Gardens
Some 5,000 rosebushes of every conceivable color and variety bloom November through March in this formally landscaped park, a quick bus ride from the center of town. Paths winding through the fragrant blooms lead to a lookout over Judge’s Bay.
Sky Tower
At 1,076 feet, the “tallest man-made structure in New Zealand” didn’t claim any world records, but it does have two high-adrenaline attractions. On SkyJump, you can leap off a ledge while attached to a wire and come to a smooth landing 630 feet below; on SkyWalk, you’re harnessed and tethered to an overhead rail as you stroll the tower’s walkway—no guardrail in sight.
Waiheke Island
Forty minutes by ferry from downtown Auckland, this bucolic little isle makes a peaceful daytrip. You can laze on its white-sand beaches; tour local artists’ studios; or learn about New Zealand’s prolific wine production at one of Waiheke’s dozen-plus vineyards.

Bondi Beach
Laid-back beach culture predominates here—along the half-mile stretch of sand, in the adjacent 10-acre park, and spilling into the neighborhood beyond. When conditions are right—which is most of the time—surfers in black wetsuits provide optimal people-watching. Want to be more than a bystander? Grab your “cossie” (swimming costume) and sign up for a lesson with Let’s Go Surfing.
The BridgeClimb
At practically any hour of the day, you’ll spot what looks like a procession of ants crawling along the Sydney Harbour Bridge’s upper arch (known as “the Coathanger”). Welcome to the infamous BridgeClimb, a 3½-hour guided trek 440 feet above the harbor waters. While the climb isn’t for everyone—participants should be able to traverse catwalks and ladders—it’s perfectly safe: you’re fastened to the bridge’s struts with a safety cable.
Sydney Opera House
Under the swooping, cantilevered roofs of Australia’s most famous landmark, the Opera House contains six different performance spaces—including the 2,679-seat concert hall, which hosts everything from performances of La Bohème to ballet and aboriginal dance. Take the hourlong behind-the-scenes tour, which traces the history of Danish architect Jørn Utzon’s masterpiece.
