Home to an array of historical buildings, memorials, and other places to visit, Marine Parade stands as an icon of the city.

Look for the arch dedicated to the city's revival after a devastating earthquake in 1931, and don't miss the beloved seafront statue of Pania, a mythological Maori figure. After your exploring, you can grab a snack or kick back with a drink at one of the many waterfront cafes and eateries.
