Similar in size to Great Britain and Japan, New Zealand is home to just four million inhabitants – making it one of the world’s least crowded countries. Although Auckland is the most populous city there, 1.2 million people spread over all that space hardly counts as congestion, making it very pleasant to explore.
Like any cosmopolitan city, Auckland has all the modern trappings, with fabulous shopping venues from High Street, Chancery and Vulcan Lane, to thriving inner city suburbs of Ponsonby, Parnell and Newmarket. In addition, its myriad of trendy cafes, restaurants, bars, museums and parks provide an endless stream of leisure activities.
For a truly memorable honeymoon, we recommend trying what the country is famous for – its adrenaline-pumping extreme sports.
