Welcome to Downtown Tauranga

We extend a warm invitation to experience everything that we have to offer.

You can be entertained on the waterfront and let the friendly cafes, bars and restaurants take care of tantalising your taste buds and quenching your thirst.

Check out the many unique stores scattered throughout the downtown streets nestled within the beautiful harbour and experience why we are the retail mecca of the Bay of Plenty.

Explore the City's rich history on the waterfront by reading the signboards along the Strand or walk the Historic Trail.  You will learn about Tauranga's history as a sleepy fishing village in the ealry days and if you stroll to the end of the Strand you can have a close up look at the beautiful waka, Te Awanui, take in the Tauranga Art Gallery, Library, Brain Watkins House, the historic Elms Mission Station or simply view the public art around the City, or relax and enjoy the water jet fountain.

   

So take the time to enjoy Downtown Tauranga with our cafes, waterfront, arts and culture, and shopping all in one relaxing place.  Enjoy the whole experience that is Downtown Tauranga.

So here's a warm invitation - acquaint yourself with a fine harbour side city that has so much to offer.  We have a growing reputation as an East Coast Kiwi lifestyle capital .... but come and see for yourself!
