Wellington, New Zealand

Wellington New Zealand

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. It's a compact city, nestled between the stunning Wellington Harbour and the surrounding lush green hills. Wellington is a city rich in culture, with a strong emphasis on the arts, making it the cultural hub of New Zealand. Its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the turbulent Cook Strait has earned Wellington the nickname of the Windy City. The city itself is quite compact, with most attractions within easy reach. The most significant attraction in Wellington is the beautifully renovated Parliament Buildings, situated in the historic suburb of Thorndon. The complex consists of three architecturally unique buildings: the Edwardian neo-classical Parliament House, the Victorian Gothic Parliamentary Library, and the distinctive 1970s-style Beehive building, which is considered the city's main landmark. Near the Parliament Buildings, visitors will find a variety of excellent shops, cafes, the Te Papa Museum, and Courtenay Place for entertainment. The Ferry terminals and the Caketin, Wellington Stadium, are also not far away. With landscapes filled with beaches, mountains, old Victorian townhouses, excellent lookout points, trendy clubs, parliament buildings, music, art, and so much more, Wellington truly is a delightful and beautiful destination.
