Auckland, New Zealand: Queen Street

Those paying a visit to Auckland ought to take a walk around Queen Street. It comes down a hill from the downtown district and ends up at the waterfront. 

Need some good clothes? Go to Queen Street. The same is true for food, drink, souvenirs, and so forth. Banks are based here, and so are department stores. It's the site of parades and other civic activities.  There are plenty of pedestrians around, giving the place plenty of energy.

Around 2006, city leaders voted to give the area a bit of a facelift. There were some problems, especially during construction, but people now believe the reconstruction was generally a success. 

Let's go for a walk:
