The CityLink is the easiest way to get around Auckland's city centre. It runs from Wynyard Quarter, along Queen St, up to K-Rd and then back down Queen Street. All the CityLink buses are bright red and are easy to spot. There's no need for a timetable either as the services run on such a regular basis.

Here are the key spots that will be right on your route or a one minute walk from where you hop off.
