Welcome to New Zealand's Capital City, Wellington

Visually stunning, Wellington is nestled between a magnificent harbour and surrounded by a natural amphitheatre of forest-clad hills. Wellington's superbly compact size, combined with cultural sophistication, makes it New Zealand's most inspiring urban destination, yet with the confines of geography creating a compact downtown area with an intimacy uncommon in other cities.
