Wellington
From coffee culture to chic couture, the streets of Wellington are lined with cafes and restaurants for every appetite, as well as boutique and department store shopping for every taste and budget.
The ‘great outdoors’ are truly great in Wellington. Picturesque mountains surround and slope down towards beautiful Wellington Harbour and neighbouring bays. If that sounds too relaxing, adventure sports like bungee jumping, sky diving, and zip lines are all over the city.
Movie fans shouldn’t miss ‘Wellywood’ and the Weta Cave movie museum for a chance to see behind the scenes exhibits and props from ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘The Hobbit’ and more.
