Viewpoint Auckland is a lookout in Mount Eden, Auckland, rated 4.9 on Google from 37 reviews. Reviews mention the views over the city and the crater, and the well-kept trails.
A city lookout is judged on the view, the path up and the places to stop along the way. Volcanic summits often have a steep final section, so sturdy shoes help, and the top can be windy even on warm days. Early mornings and late afternoons tend to be quieter, and the light on the city is often at its best then. Many visitors combine the climb with a walk around the crater rim before heading back down.
For people in Mount Eden and across Auckland who want a wide view over the city and a walk up a volcano, this lookout is well worth the climb.
