About Wellington

Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, and is surrounded by hills and a rugged coastline - remarkably combining a vibrant inner city experience with a nice dose of New Zealand scenery. Wellington is renowned to be a very windy city. The speed and direction of the wind can be seen by the flag being flown from the Beehive. A large flag is flown only on calm days while a small flag is flown when windy days are expected.

Wellington is a city that’s bubbling with energy and vitality. From the more popular Wellington attractions to an awesome array of theater, music, dance, fine arts and galleries and museums, the city offers an unmatched blend of activities to keep you enthralled right throughout your stay here.

One of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, the museum of ‘New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa’ is located in Wellington. The museum is recognized as a world leader of interactive and innovative museum experiences. Mount Victoria and Wrights Hill offers Wellington's best look outs while the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, Plimmer's Ark and Frank Kitts Park are also attractions worth exploring during your stay here.

Wellington also has a ‘happening’ night life centered along Courtenay Place, one of the city’s main streets. Wellington features a whole host of restaurants and cafes that serve a wide variety of cuisine ranging from Malaysian food to Lebanese kebabs.

Wellington’s motto is ‘"Suprema a situ", which claims site supremacy. Not many would argue with this point.
