Britomart

Unclaimed

Lovely place to shop, has some great nz brands. Love Deadly Ponies and Karen Walker. If you want a sweet treat then definitely go to Miaan. Don’t bother with Daily Bread it’s over rated. Also close by is World and Zambesi for perfume, clothing and some home decor. Close to trains and parking. Markets on weekends are generally pretty good for some food or trinkets. Prices for this area are anywhere between $$ - $$$

First time to Auckland Railway Station as I'm an out of towner. It was pretty cool as railway stations go and leans toward that 'old station vibe' but with a touch of modern. Very clean and tidy and no shortage of helpful happy staff. The train itself was comfortable, clean, and well presented. However, it is not a match in any way to the beautiful old Auckland Railway Station.

So many good food options, especially if you love fish. Definitely gets a little packed, so I would recommend going early morning!

Britomart reflects the true heart of Auckland — clean, vibrant, and surprisingly calm for a city hub. It’s a unique place where contrasting lifestyles coexist effortlessly. You’ll see both the rich and the struggling side by side, all just trying to make a living, and the city seems to welcome everyone with open arms. Whether you’re well-off or just finding your way, there’s a place for you here. The blend of urban architecture, green spaces, and the nearby waterfront brings together the best of land and sea. The only downside I noticed is the lack of free public parking, which can be inconvenient for vehicle owners. However, it’s very well connected through trains, buses, and ferries, making it easy to reach without a vehicle.

Clean, modern, and right in the heart of the city. Britomart Station is easy to navigate with helpful staff and good train connections. The area outside is vibrant, with great cafes, shops, and a short walk to the waterfront. Perfect spot to start exploring Auckland! Beautiful ferry building is located just outside of the britomart station. Queens street for shopping and sky tower is on walking distance Nearest Viaduct is a good location for filming and photography
