Wellington City is the Capital City of New Zealand and the second most populous urban area of New Zealand.

Wellington is New Zealand's political centre, housing Parliament, the head offices of all Government Ministries and Departments and the bulk of the foreign diplomatic missions in New Zealand.

Wellington is also a cultural centre of New Zealand, home to Te Papa (the ground-breaking interactive Museum of New Zealand), the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and national treasures such as the original Treaty of Waitangi and Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace.

Wellington City is nestled between a dramatic harbour and bush clad hills. Enjoy great views from the top of Mount Victoria, or catch the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens. Downtown Wellington is ideally explored on foot. Made up of four quarters each with their own distinct mix of shopping, cafes, transport, accommodation, Wellington's intense urban experience is unrivalled in the country.
