Wellington is a fantastic city on the Southern Tip of the North Island of New Zealand. The city has a flourishing nightlife as well as being a cultural hub of New Zealand. Here are three reasons why you should visit Wellington.
Mount Victoria
Mount Victoria is a significant hill not far from the coast in Wellington city center. It climbs over 600 feet above sea level and offers amazing views over the city of Wellington once you reach the summit. It was also used to film scenes in Lord of the Rings and offers mountain biking trails for the adventurous.
Te Papa
Te Papa is the National Museum of New Zealand and offers some incredible exhibitions that are well worth a visit. With almost 2 million yearly visitors, it is one of the most popular museums in New Zealand and has a lot to offer for everyone.
The Atmosphere
Wellington has a great nightlife and, on the right night, it has a raucous and festival-like atmosphere. Cuba Street has many independent bars and cafes which are worth stopping at. Sometimes referred to as ‘Wellywood’, Wellington is reminiscent of San Francisco with its trams, steep hills, stunning coastline, and thriving cultural scene.
