Auckland is home to 48 volcanic cones, giving the city a unique landscape of peaks and hills, which means heaps of places to take in the view of the city. Mt Eden, also known as Maungawhau at 196 metres (643 feet) tall is the best place to watch the sunset over Auckland as it is the highest natural point in the city. Within 10 minutes of the city centre, Mt Eden offers 360-degree views of Auckland CBD and the harbour.
