Viaduct Harbour

Getting around: On the downtown waterfront, an easy walk from Britomart, Queen Street, or the ferry terminal.
Hours: No fixed hours — it's an open waterfront precinct; individual bars, restaurants, and shops keep their own hours, generally into the evening.

Viaduct Harbour is Auckland's marina-front dining and entertainment precinct, built around the basin used for the 1999-2000 and 2002-2003 America's Cup regattas. It's lined with restaurants, bars, and superyacht berths, and makes for a pleasant waterfront stroll any time of day, especially at night when it's lit up.

It connects directly to Wynyard Quarter along the waterfront, so the two are easily combined into one walk.
