纽马克特

Considered by many to be Auckland's premier retail centre (and fashion capital!), 纽马克特 has a high density of shops and a great selection of trendy bars and 餐厅, making it a popular destination for city dwellers who prefer to get away from the hustle and bustle of the 生物多样性公约. 

The city's second-busiest railway station (also the second-largest in the whole country), is a modern structure, 2010年开业, which carries on 纽马克特's tradition as an important rail hub. Dominated by Broadway, running north to south from 帕内尔 通往高速公路, there are over 40 designer stores in 纽马克特, a well-thought-out mix of high end designer shops, 一些较小的, more eclectic boutiques, and an impressive array of homegrown talent, 像阿娜·斯特里顿, Kate Sylvester and Karen Walker.

The Westfield 277 mall is fantastic if you like all your shops in one place (there's also a handy food court), but try and explore the interesting back streets off Broadway, 太, where you'll find some great artisan stores selling everything from arts and crafts to books, homeware and some special gifts.  With over 100 shops in all, 纽马克特 is the ideal sanctuary for when the retail therapy fairy comes knocking.It's not just cutting edge fashion you'll discover here, though - 纽马克特 is packed full of trendy bars and 餐厅, and it's this welcoming cafe culture that makes the area such a natural choice for lunch, or just a casual coffee-catch-up with friends.

But if the shopping gets 太 much, 纽马克特 offers a whole host of other things to do.  Take a dip in the indoor Olympic Swimming Pool, relax with a movie at the 1920s Rialto Picture Theatre, or go ten pin bowling on York Street.  There's also a fantastic heritage walk, taking you around 纽马克特's many historic buildings including Khyber House, 卡尔顿俱乐部, and the famous Highwic - a Carpenter Gothic house built by one of Auckland's most successful businessmen, 阿尔弗雷德·巴克兰, 19世纪60年代.
