High: 18 Low: 11Exploring Wellington's waterfront on foot is a pleasant way to spend a morning or afternoon. Start at Queens Wharf and follow the harbour around past Te Papa and Chaffers Marina to Oriental Bay, where you will find cafes and an enticing stretch of golden sand.
Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent here on waterfront developments over the past ten years. Key historic buildings have been gracefully resurrected as popular seaside restaurants, like Shed 5 and Dockside, as well as apartments and the Museum of Wellington City and Sea, which is housed in the old Bond Store.
Public spaces and pedestrian walkways have been landscaped to allow people to walk at the water's edge and enjoy magnificent views of the harbour. A pedestrian footbridge featuring indigenous artwork links the city to the sea while another one, just completed last year, adds another dimension to the waterfront spaces.
