Things to do in Auckland, North Island: The Best Shopping Malls
The Māori call Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau — a maiden desired by 100 lovers,
and a valuable territory fought over for centuries for its fertile land and
natural harbors on the Pacific Ocean (to the east) and Tasman Sea (to the
west). Today, it’s New Zealand’s largest city: A vibrant and diverse place
where nature and urban life go hand-in- hand, with 48 volcanic cones, more
than 50 islands, and 29,000 km of coastline and beaches just minutes away
from the arts and shopping of the central city.

This small pedestrian-only lane running between Queen Street and the shopping district known as Chancery is lined with quirky shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. You'll also find buskers some days.

This is an amazing lane that has its own charm and character, unlike Queen Street which can be found in many other large cities. The shops, cafe and restaurants were vibrant with own style and signature you won't see along Queen Street. This is a must visit place in Auckland. Even sitting on the bench in this lane watching people around would be fun.
