What does the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Tower Bridge in London and the Ponte Vecchio in Florence have in common? They all retain the glory of being some of the most amazing bridges in the world! For instance, the history of the famous Ponte Vecchio Bridge can be traced back to Roman times and is believed to be Europe's oldest stone arch bridge while the Tower Bridge in London serves as an icon of England. The Auckland Harbour Bridge too, is unique in its own way. The largest city in New Zealand, the city of Auckland is home to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, constructed over the Waitemata Harbour. It has the distinction of being the longest road bridge on the North Island. Prior to the construction of this iconic structure, the only mode of transportation was the ferry and this lead to the proposed construction and completion of the site in the mid-twentieth century. While driving across the structure is a treat in itself, there are two more reasons as to why tourists enthusiastically flock to the site; the Bridge Climb and Bungy Jumping. This site provides the only Bridge Climb experience in the entire country. For those who wish to visit this attraction, this activity is complete with your own tour guide and an extensive commentary on the history and secrets of the structure, its design as well as some of the most spectacular scenes of the city's skyline. For the intrepid adventurer, bungy jumping facilities are made available as well where enthusiasts can experience a forty metre bungy jump from the lofty heights of this structure. In other words, whether you are staying in Auckland hotel accommodation, a serviced apartment or even if you are visiting the city for the day, making some time to visit this attraction which will prove to be one of the best decisions you have ever made. Since the Bridge Climb lasts less than two hours, visitors and tourists will have time left over to try their hand at bungy jumping if they wish and get their adrenaline pumping before they return to their plush Auckland hotel after an exhilarating day. For accommodation overlooking the Waitemata Harbour, ensure that you book a stay at Copthorne Hotel Auckland Harbour City, whose luxurious accommodation coupled with its spectacular view will make you want to stay and enjoy the city for longer.
