About Britomart

Britomart is nine blocks of eating, shopping, and entertainment in the middle of Central Auckland, New Zealand. At the center of it all is the Britomart Transport Center, which is a major public transportation hub with access to the North Island Main Trunk Railway Line. The station also gives access to several buses and ferries. 

The community of Britomart was gifted to Governor Hobson in 1840 from the chief of the Ngati Whatua people, Apihai Te Kawau. He gave 3,000 acres for the construction of a new capital after signing the Treaty of Waitangi. Much of it was underwater until the 1870s when Port Britomart was built up into a major port city.

Also at the center of it all is Takutai Square, which is a pedestrian-only street and the heart of the city. With over 100 retail and eateries, you will not have any trouble finding something to do while you are visiting. On weekends, you can find stalls full of goodies at the Britomart Market, live entertainment, and friendly New Zealanders wanting to sell their handicrafts. 

Fun Fact: There are more than 50 volcanoes in the City of Auckland.
