Vulcan Lane

This small pedestrian-only lane running between Queen Street and the shopping district known as Chancery is lined with quirky shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. You'll also find buskers some days.

Reviewed By Good_Partner - Sydney, Australia

This is an amazing lane that has its own charm and character, unlike Queen Street which can be found in many other large cities. The shops, cafe and restaurants were vibrant with own style and signature you won't see along Queen Street. This is a must visit place in Auckland. Even sitting on the bench in this lane watching people around would be fun.

Victoria Park Market

The area that now makes up Victoria Park Village was once the local rubbish collection area. The horses would lead the carts around the old City Centre collecting the rubbish - the rubbish was then delivered to Victoria Park Village,burnt in the old chimney and the power generated from this would power the city street lights. On site you can still see the chimney, sorting area and the old stables. a ramp that was previously used to get the horses up to the second floor of the stables is now the Celebrity Walk where a number of icon Kiwis have left their hand and foot prints. The horses have long since "bolted" from the stables and in their place a thriving community of artisans are setting up in eateries, workshops, shops and galleries - most weekends between 10 and 2 you can find market stalls set up around the Village.
