Wellington Highlights

The Capital of New Zealand, Wellington is also a cultural centre—home to Te Papa, the ground-breaking interactive Museum of New Zealand, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and national treasures such as the original Treaty of Waitangi.

The central city area of Wellington is the place to see performing arts, particularly ballet, theatre and musical performances. Local cuisine is sophisticated and inventive—an abundance of excellent cafes and restaurants are within walking distance of all the major hotels.

The waterfront has been transformed into a graceful promenade with shops, restaurants, activities and elegant landscaping making it a real drawcard for visitors and locals alike. The new state of the art sports and entertainment Stadium is just a short walk from downtown.

You'll find plenty to see and do in Wellington city:

• Te Papa Museum, Wellington
• Te Papa is New Zealand's bold, innovative national museum set on Wellington's waterfront. Visitors can get a unique insight into New Zealand and learn about the land and its people
• Tours of New Zealand's Parliament Buildings provide an insight into New Zealand's political heritage
• The Museum of Wellington City and Sea presents stories of Wellington in an interactive and entertaining way
• Visit Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace—the childhood home of the famous writer. Intricately restored to match the descriptions of the house in her stories
• Old St Paul's Cathedral is a magnificent gothic style church built from New Zealand native timbers
• Take a cable car ride from downtown Wellington up to the Botanic Gardens for sweeping views of the city and harbour
• Capital E will keep children amused for hours
• See a live show, concert or performance any night of the week
• Enjoy animal antics at Wellington Zoo
• Stroll from the city to Oriental Bay. The energetic can continue up through the green belt to the summit of Mount Victoria for a 360-degree panorama of Wellington. There's also a bus that goes to the summit

Nothing defines a city's character quite as aptly as its architecture. In Wellington's case it not only defines it, it distinguishes it as well. The most striking feature is the collection of historical timber houses perched in the green hills surrounding the harbour.

The wooden theme is a consistent one, whether visiting Old St Paul's Cathedral, Katherine Mansfield's birth place, Antrim House, historical Thorndon or the Old Government Buildings—the largest wooden structure in the Southern hemisphere.

On a more recent note, the doors are always open at the refurbished Parliament Buildings (next door to the famous 'Beehive')—a memorable monument to contemporary architecture.
