The BIG little City Experience

The BIG little City is packed with infinite possibilities to inspire you: Auckland’s central city has a huge number of shows to see, exhibitions to view, restaurants to sample and beautiful public spaces to enjoy. We love the idea of pulling several great experiences together to create an 'Urban Journey'.

For example, starting your night out by having with dinner with your best friends, then moving on to somewhere a bit more lively for a drink before heading to see a live gig is an Urban Journey. So is a day spent admiring the gardens in Albert Park, stopping in at the Auckland Art Gallery café to refuel then heading to the cinema to catch a movie with your friend. You get the idea...

BIG little City is all about helping you to find and create great new Urban Journeys, to help you make the most of our incredible city.

Take a look at the latest Urban Journeys that the BIG little City’s littlest fans have been enjoying!
