The Viaduct Harbour, based in Auckland, New Zealand, comes to life at night. The place is always buzzing with people, booze, food, and fun: just about everything you need to make a night memorable. The Viaduct is a residential, commercial, and entertaining area where one can choose to dine in with their loved ones. The Harbour was formerly known as the Viaduct Basin, and as of yet, it is the busiest place in the Auckland Central Business district to be in during the night. If one chooses to take a walk before or after the fun, then one can always visit the National Maritime Museum, which is just adjacent to the Harbour.
The Viaduct Harbour was previously known as the Viaduct Basin. The Viaduct Basin because of a failed scheme by the Auckland Harbour Board. It was decided that large ships were to unload their cargo onto smaller ships and were supposed to ferry it back to the shore. However, the shipping companies didn’t cooperate; better arrangements had to be made for the bigger ships. However, the partially built arrangement for the ferry-boats now had no purpose. This area was now being used by fishing boats. A small fish market sprang up nearby and a few factories opened up. As time went on, this area became one of the best tourist attractions in Auckland.
