A vibrant and compact city, bursting with an array of things to see and do. Located at the bottom of the North Island, overlooking Cook Strait, and the spectacular hills and valleys of the South Island. Despite its size, Wellington has the highest ratio of cafes per person in the world. Pop by Wellington’s bohemian, Cuba Street for a superb range of cafes, vintage shopping and a local weekly market (Friday nights).
Visit Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum and gallery, and soak up Maori culture, art heritage and fascinating history. Or take the cable car to the botanical gardens for a cosy picnic. Take a stroll along Wellington’s waterfront and Oriental Bay. Known as the ‘windy city’ but when the sun's out and the wind dies down, its pure bliss. The locals have a saying “you can’t beat Wellington on a good day” - and you truly can’t! Climb Mount Victoria for views over the city, or check out the parliament building - The Beehive.
