Queens Street in Auckland

It’s capital city Auckland, is quite prominent too, housing most of its main parts and also being the hub for tourists, it has created a large centre of attraction and revenue for New Zealand. It is very convenient to travel to and fro around Auckland and has been centred out for its hosting ability as well as having a section of really good locals who like to welcome their guests with pride.

History Of Queens Street

Auckland, known as The ‘Tamaki MakauRau’, meaning “Isthmus of one thousand lovers’’, was originally intended to be a Maori settlement between Europeans and the Maori. The land was then bought by the Europeans and other settlers who colonized the area. Auckland also played the role of the Capital City of New Zealand between 1840 and 1865 and due to the rapid development, became the largest city in New Zealand in 1900.

Off late, Queens Street in Auckland in particular has become a rage. The number of visitors has certainly doubled up and the locals expect more foreign nationals to arrive here, for either for sight-seeing or the usual favourite, shopping. It houses a large number of authentic stores, restaurants as well as souvenir counters, all ready to be entered by foreigners looking for a good experience.
