Wellington has been named ‘the coolest little capital’ by Lonely Planet, and it’s easy to see why; here you’ll find an abundance of culture, plenty of activities, a beautiful seaside setting and a laidback atmosphere.
Spend your time here relaxing on the city’s golden beach, wander the many excellent galleries and museums, or get the adrenaline pumping with some of New Zealand’s famous adventure activities – from kayaking to mountain biking.
To immerse yourself in this country’s amazing culture, visit Te Papa Tongarewa, the national museum, and explore six storeys of fascinating exhibits and artefacts. For enjoying the best views of this lovely city, we recommend hopping aboard the historic cable car or heading to the Mount Victoria lookout, some 196 metres above the metropolis.
