Attractions

Wellington is active all year round – there is plenty to see and do.

Wellington is the arts and culture capital of New Zealand. Te Papa, New Zealand's national museum, is on Wellington's waterfront. The city has many other cultural attractions for visitors to discover.

Wellington is great if you love being outdoors. It is surrounded by hills, a rugged coastline and one of the most beautiful harbours in the world. Adventure activities include mountain biking, sailing, bushwalking and much more.

Guided tours such as Walking tours, coach tours or even helicopter tours are available to enjoy the sights.

Wellington is only a short drive or ferry ride away from New Zealand’s top wine regions, Wairarapa and Marlborough. Both regions are popular weekend destinations.
