Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and seat of government. Wellington is famous for its creative energy, culture, history, nature and cuisine. The region is known as New Zealand’s cultural heart, with more than 55 art galleries, plus interactive national museum Te Papa Tongarewa and the national orchestra, ballet and opera.
The city’s long established coffee culture can be experienced on every corner of the compact central city. Wellingtonians are masters of excellent casual dining, with plenty of great restaurants, night markets and food trucks – the city is said to have more eateries per capita than New York.
Renowned for its creative craft brewers, Wellington was recently named the best beer destination in Oceania by Lonely Planet. If you need to walk off all that goodness, you’re also in luck. Wellington is a capital city right on nature’s doorstep, with a peaceful walk-through native bush or along a golden sand beach never far from the urban hub.
The capital is easily accessed, either by air (there are regular international and domestic flights), interisland ferry, train or car. Wellington International Airport is a scenic 10-minute drive from the central business district. Taxis, shuttles and the Airport Flyer bus are all on hand to transfer visitors to the central city.
With a city centre just two kilometres in diameter, Wellington is also seamlessly and costeffectively navigated once on the ground. No need to arrange transport – all the facilities you need are within easy walking distance.
