Auckland Sky Tower & Harbour - Auckland, New Zealand

Looking across the water to the Auckland skyline, the needle of the Sky Tower rises well above everything else, while ferries, yachts and the odd cruise ship pass through the harbor below and the city lights reflect on the water after dark.

Auckland, or Tāmaki Makaurau, is New Zealand's biggest city, squeezed onto a narrow strip of land between two harbors and built on top of a field of around 50 small volcanoes.

So many people here own a boat that it's known as the City of Sails. The Sky Tower stands 1,076 feet (328 m) tall, and if the view isn't enough, you can even jump off it on a wire.

Did You Know? Rangitoto, the island volcano just off Auckland, only appeared about 600 years ago, making it the youngest volcano in the area.
