Wellington Vacations
Cradling a magnificent harbor, its glittering high-rises giving way to characterful wooden Victorian homes that dot the hillside, New Zealand’s capital city is a buzzing, lively hub of cosmopolitan cafes, restaurants and bars with a thriving arts scene of galleries and museums. The beaches of Oriental Bay and the stunning terrain of the surrounding hills make this a worthy capital.
Combine the cultural, historic and cosmopolitan highlights of the city with easy access to kayaking, hiking and mountain biking in the surrounding hills and it’s easy to see why Wellington was named "the coolest little capital in the world" by Lonely Planet. After a day exploring the forested hillsides or cutting edge galleries, kick back with a craft beer and take your pick from Wellington’s eclectic food trucks and night markets.
