Wellington (New Zealand) ... at the northernmost tip of the North Island. / Wellington's compact city centre supports an arts scene, café culture and nightlife much larger than most cities of a similar size. It is a centre of New Zealand's film and theatre industry. Te Papa Tongarewa (the Museum of New Zealand), the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the National Parliament, the Royal New Zealand Ballet and the biennial International Festival of the Arts are all sited there.

Having back packed in new zealand for nearly 7-8 months i spent almost 4 happy months in this fantastic city, there is so much to do and see you will be spoilt for choice, for starters why not check out the great museum they have there, it has many interactive systems that are not only informative but fun too, if this bores you maybe i should add that this is free! there are many cafes that you can while away your time offering good coffee and delicious cakes.

As someone who lived in Wellington for two years, I feel I got to know the city. A city that many backpackers fleeting round New Zealand overlook for the solitude of mountains and adventure. Yes, my initial trip to Wellington was for just two nights whilst driving round New Zealand and as the weather wasn't great my visit was doomed to a bad review status... the touristy Botanical Gardens and Beachfront were just not that appealing in torrential gales and horizontal rain. However, going back there and eventually living there I discovered what a true delight this place is as cities go. The place is relatively small, especially for a capital, yet highly compact ...  Read the complete review

I have been to Wellington twice once in 2005 and again in 2007. Wellington was not may favorite place in New Zealand, however as it is a city it has really good night life, with many bars, pubs, and restaurants. So if you need a good night out then Wellington is definately one of the best places to go out. During the day Wellington has many good shops so if you enjoy shopping then you could easily spend a whole day shopping in Wellignton. When you come to the end of your stay in Welington and you need to decide how to get to the south island then I would recommend the ferry wich takes you across into the small town of Picton which is very nice, or plane which is a lot ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wishy Washy Wellington. (350 words)

There’s nothing really wrong with Wellington as such but it’s not really a place I warmed to. The first day we were there, we went up on the Cable Car, we had breakfast out, we looked around and, it’s just lacking something. I think we pinned it down to the lack of landmarks in the end. From the top of the cable car, Wellington is simply a featureless sprawl. Sydney has the harbours, the opera house, the bridge, Auckland has the Skytower, some less impressive harbours and a less impressive bridge, but hey, they’re landmarks. Wellington just seems to have, well, buildings and not particularly special ones at that. This moves onto ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Wellington (New Zealand): Windy Wellington (332 words)

Yes, Wellington is the capital of New Zealand.. which not many people understand. Most of the time people automatically assume that Auckland is the capital.. probably because it's more talked about and is bigger! Actually, I was watching Good Morning where they did the phone in to win £1000 per question.. anyway one of the questions was: "In which country can you find Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch?" The ladies answer was: "Australia" ....close.. but not close enough dear! Didn't you study your geography at school!!!??? Wellington has a reputation for being windy, and so it has the nickname ...  Read the complete review
