New Zealand’s colourful and cultural capital, there is so much to see and do in Wellington you’ll never want to leave!
Nestled between a beautiful harbour and bush-clad hills, the city’s appealing countryside is a natural place to start exploring. Trek to the top of magnificent Mount Victoria for stunning views then catch a cable car up to the beautiful Botanic Gardens. You’ll love exploring Wellington’s “Middle Earth” locations, where much of the Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot. Wellington’s lively downtown precinct is just as thrilling. Waterfront shopping at the promenade, sophisticated and inventive cuisine and world class theatre productions make a holiday in Wellington an experience to remember.
The cultural whirl of Wellington is home to Te Papa Tongarewa, the National Museum of New Zealand, as well as the Royal New Zealand Ballet, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the National Opera.
