An Auckland StayFit for a QueenRoll out the royal carpet—SIX the Musical is coming to Auckland this February! From 27 February, the smash-hit show will take the stage at The Civic, reimagining the lives of Henry VIII’s six wives as bold and empowered queens. To celebrate their arrival, we’ve curated a collection of Auckland’s most majestic spots. From shopping streets to chic rooftop bars and unforgettable dining experiences, this list is your guide to Auckland’s crown locations.
Auckland’s iconic Queen Street, the city centre’s main street, is lined with a mix of high-end boutiques, trendy cafes, international brands and entertainment venues. Stroll the lively street, explore laneways, indulge in some retail therapy, or grab a coffee while soaking in the city vibe. At lower Queen St, you’ll find Commercial Bay, a popular shopping and dining precinct. Whether you’re hunting for a show-stopping outfit or simply enjoying the energy of downtown Auckland, Queen Street offers a snapshot of central Auckland’s diversity.
Elevate your evening at Queens Rooftop Bar, where stunning city views, delicious bites, and signature drinks reign supreme. Offering a vibrant atmosphere, this chic venue is perfect for pre-show cocktails or post-show celebrations. Whether you’re enjoying a classic cocktail or sampling their creative bar menu, you’ll feel like the star of your own show. Gather your court and soak in the Auckland skyline from one of the city’s most stylish rooftop venues.
Sip in style at the Bellini Bar, perched on Princess Wharf, with stunning views overlooking the Waitematā Harbour. This sophisticated spot is perfect for indulging in cocktails, fine wines, or a refreshing glass of bubbly. With its waterfront views and a sleek atmosphere, it’s certainly a crown jewel in Auckland’s social scene and perfect for a pre-show toast or a late-night drink after seeing SIX the Musical.
