Wellington

Welcome to Wellington

Wellington is New Zealand's creative capital—a compact, walkable city wedged between harbor and hills where coffee culture, craft beer, and world-class museums thrive alongside film industry sophistication (Weta Workshop and Peter Jackson's empire are based here). The self-proclaimed "coolest little capital in the world" delivers cultural experiences rivaling much larger cities: Te Papa Tongarewa is among the world's great national museums, the restaurant scene punches well above its weight, and the famous cable car climbs to botanic garden views. Wellington's notorious wind is real, but so is its vibrant personality.
