The Capital of New Zealand, Wellington is not only the country´s political center, it is also its cultural center – home to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and home to Te Papa, New Zealand´s bold, innovative national museum, set on Wellington´s waterfront.
The city is compact and nestled between a dramatic harbor and bush-clad hills. Great views can be found at the top of Mount Victoria, or by catching the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens. Downtown Wellington is ideally explored on foot. The waterfront has been transformed into a graceful promenade, with shops, cafes and restaurants. Visitors who want to enjoy coastal scenery within the city, should drive along the City Marine Drive – from Oriental Bay, to the seal colony at Red Rocks.
