Set on a glorious harbour and surrounded by rolling hills, Wellington is one of the most enticing cities in the world. New Zealand’s capital is the hub of cultural and political life, the proud host to a thriving film industry, and the gateway to the natural splendour of the nation’s premier wine regions.

This is a city for dedicated foodies, with a fabulous array of cool cafés and innovative restaurants on offer. It’s a place where arts and culture are given the respect and attention they deserve through leading galleries and museums, and a shopping destination that’s spilling over with the finest local talent.

So leave your expectations at home and let Wellington take you by surprise – it’s what this truly remarkable city does best.
