The Art Train: Auckland Street Art & Cultural Tour

Join an Auckland local for a guided tour of the city’s hottest street art, cultural spots and newest rail stations — exploring Auckland Central on foot and by train.

Whether you’re a train nerd, an art lover, or simply curious to see the city from a different perspective, this urban walking tour takes you through Auckland’s vibrant street murals, laneways, creative communities and brand-new City Rail Link stations.

We’ll begin at Karanga-a-hape Station, winding our way through the laneways and under St Kevin’s Arcade, through Myers Park and down into the Midtown Arts Quarter. From there, we’ll hop on the train and head to either Maungawhau or Waitematā Station, depending on the departure time.

We’ll finish with more local art and culture — and, depending on the tour, either an evening aperitivo or a wander around the local market.
