The Big Little City has been having a quiet long weekend, with most Aucklanders taking the chance for a final long weekend out of town before winter sets in.
Even Auckland's usually busiest centres have been virtually empty today, with most city dwellers having chosen to head away for the holidays.
Easter weekend, quickly followed by Anzac Day this coming Thursday, means a lot of people have taken the opportunity to have a 10-day break.
Traffic is expected to start building up this evening, though, as many begin their journey back home.
