Mt Victoria, reached by an uphill walkway from Victoria Road in Devonport, on Auckland's North Shore, is a lookout with views of the Auckland City skyline and the Waitematā Harbour. The walk to the top gives a 360-degree view.
Visitors call the views stunning, and say it is a sweet spot with easy difficulty. One says it is the best seat in the house for New Zealand's dramatic scenery, and that you can watch the weather move across the islands in real time. Our pick in Devonport for an easy climb with a wide view.
