Wellington

Wellington is the Harbour Capital and seat of government, but more than that, Wellington is a city that has become a mecca for the arts, live theatre and home of Te Papa - the National Museum. 

The city boasts many fine museums, libraries, art galleries, and theatres, and parks in a greenbelt around the central city, as well as dining, shopping and entertainment, and nightlife in the Courtenay Place area. New Zealand's only working cable car provides panoramic views.

Discover the nation's identity in the capital, where heritage treasures like Parliament Buildings, the National Archives and Te Papa offer you a unique insight into the stories of the country. Or experience heritage of a more natural kind throughout a region blessed with an astonishing variety of natural wonders. 

Wellington is the geographical and political centre of New Zealand, this beautiful harbour capital combines city sophistication with the intimacy of a compact village. Jam-packed with national treasures, artistic flair, gastronomic delights, shopping sensations and scenic beauty, Wellington is the ultimate urban destination in New Zealand.

Wellington region includes the Kapiti Coast and Hutt Valley. The Wairarapa region is just one hour's drive from Wellington city.
