There's the normal tourist traps like Weta Workshop, TePapa, Cable Car to Botanic Gardens to Zealandia (via the free shuttle in the botanic gardens).
But, just hanging around on the waterfront on a nice day is good, walking to Oriental Bay and up the Mt Vic lookout (if you're fit, otherwise drive), is good.
Or do the craft beer thing: https://www.craftbeercapital.com/
Or the coffee thing with all the roasters.
Also, some of the hidden cocktail bars like Hawthorn Lounge and Forrester's.
I had a few mates in town from Canada just before covid and they literally spent a day wondering around town following their noses to roasteries, breweries, chocolate makers, etc.
Shame you're not in town now, there's Burger Wellington going until next weekend.
