Festivals occur all year round, some of which include the Auckland Seafood Festival in January; the Auckland Lantern Festival in February (honouring the city’s Chinese community); and the New Zealand International Film Festival which takes place in July. Iconic landmarks like Mount Eden provide sweeping city views, and surrounding outdoor activities include nature walks, harbour sailing and surfing at the beach.

New Zealand is generally a very safe country to visit with a low crime rate. It is, however, advised not to leave expensive equipment or accessories unattended in crowded areas which could attract pick-pockets or thieves. Take copies of important documents such as IDs and passports in the event that they get lost. Always remain aware of your surroundings, especially if travelling at night. Do not leave drinks unattended when visiting bars or clubs.

If, at any point, you feel lost or unsafe, New Zealand’s national emergency phone number is 111. Calls are free and can be made even if your phone is out of credit.
