Wellington, I Presume

New Zealand’s capital city is an eclectic mix of cafes, galleries, and shops. The city drapes itself languidly across lush green hills, and drips down towards a vibrant waterfront. Although universities infuse a measure of youthful energy, the red cable cars climbing the steep slopes of Wellington retain a spot of old-world charm. A dose of Maori culture gives a unique and wonderful diversity to it all.



The spectacular Te Papa National Museum adds an educational and artistic bent, while the bustling harbor reminds you that this is a working town. The wonderful public gardens provide a softer side, while the busy ferry terminal brings a continuous stream of visitors to add a bit of excitement. Old European style architecture mixes with modern Kiwi, to create a look all its own.



Wellington is hip, happening, energetic, and cool. It’s the perfect jumping off point to see the wonders of the North Island.
