Perched on the water’s edge and surrounded by nature Wellington is a compact, connected and vibrant capital.

Renowned for its creative and cultural heart, Wellington is home to the national museum Te Papa, award-winning eateries, regional wine and craft beer, and some of the best coffee in the world. Wellington is surrounded by beautiful scenery and green spaces. Meander along Wellington’s waterfront, perfect for a stroll with views across the harbour or to see the city lights at night or take a stroll through beautiful native bush to Mt Victoria Lookout.

Wellington is one of the very few cities in the world experiencing an increase in biodiversity, credited to the creation of urban sanctuary Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne. As the world’s first fully-fenced urban ecosanctuary, Zealandia is pursuing a 500-year vision to regenerate the 225-hectare valley that the fence protects. Its work has motivated local communities across the city to all contribute toward a greener capital where nature can thrive.
