Wellington is a mixture of
culture, creativity, history,
and luscious green backdrops
that you do not find
anywhere else in
the world.
Wellington is at the heart of New Zealand: it is
situated in the middle of New Zealand, the
capital city and where our Government is
located. There is a large business and political
focus in Wellington but that is balanced out by
the creativity that oozes out of this compact
city, known as New Zealand’s Cultural Capital.
Packed to the brim with cafes, museums,
theatres, galleries, boutiques and bars, you will
never be lacking for things to do.
Wellington City was designed by its forefathers
to be surrounded by a “Green Belt” of native
bush, so if being at one with nature is more
your style, then Wellington has what you are
looking for. Walk just minutes from the city
centre and you will be surrounded by the
natural flora and fauna of New Zealand, in one
of the many parks and green spaces. Take
advantage of the stunning waterfront, beaches
n d restaurants p
and the rugged coastline or take a walk up to és a er
the Mt Victoria Lookout to get your bearings e ca f c ap

and enjoy the panoramic view for miles.
