Tourist Attractions in Wellington

Nestled on the southern tip of New Zealand’s North Island, Wellington is a compact capital where culture, coast and cuisine collide. Visitors wander the scenic harbor, ride the historic cable car to panoramic viewpoints, and explore Te Papa’s dynamic national collections. The city’s wind-swept hills frame lush parks, the Botanic Garden and superb walking trails, while the windswept coastal precincts of Oriental Bay and Miramar offer beaches and film-steeped charm. Nearby Weta Workshop tours, Zealandia’s wildlife sanctuary, and the rugged hills of Mount Victoria round out day trips, and Cuba Street delivers vibrant dining, nightlife and creative energy.
