Located at the bottom of New Zealand’s North Island, Wellington is often dubbed ‘the coolest little capital in the world'.

Wellington is a compact city known for its vibrant arts scene, world-class café and restaurant culture, and active outdoor lifestyle.

Fuel your visit with strong coffee and quality craft beer — Wellingtonians are masters of casual dining, with plenty of great restaurants, night markets and food trucks. It's also surrounded by incredible scenery, from the twinkling harbour to the wild and wonderful hills. The best way to experience it all it to simply get among it. Discover the stories of Aotearoa at Te Papa, explore the movie making magic at Weta Cave, and ride the historic Wellington cable car to capture stunning views of the harbour.
