About Auckland
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and its main commercial centre, though the capital is Wellington. Built around two harbours and a field of volcanic cones, it is the country's main international gateway and a centre for sailing, with the Sky Tower and waterfront among its landmarks.
Auckland uses New Zealand Standard Time, UTC+12, and switches to New Zealand Daylight Time, UTC+13, during the southern-hemisphere summer. Lying just west of the International Date Line, it is among the first major cities to start each new day. Because it is so far ahead, Auckland's morning overlaps with the previous afternoon in North America, which is the usual window for transpacific calls. All of New Zealand except the Chatham Islands shares this time.
