Wellington

  As the capital city and geographical centre of New Zealand, Wellington is the focus of the country's financial and political power.

  Wellington became the capital in 1865 and by 1870, the population was growing at a brisk rate and it began to assume that cosmopolitan air that has characterised it ever since. While construction has changed the skyline with modern skyscrapers, Wellington has also retained many of its historic sites and buildings. Among these are Antrim House, the Colonial Cottage Museum, Old St Paul's Cathedral, Katherine Mansfield's Birthplace, the Parliament Buildings, including the 'Beehive' and the many city villas which cling precariously to the steep hillsides. Downtown Wellington on Lambton Quay is popular with shoppers. Don't miss a trip on the Cable Car which takes you from Lambton Quay to Kelburn, the Botanic Gardens and superb harbour views. For a different perspective of the city, take a harbour cruise or a ferry trip to Eastbourne, where there are craft shops, galleries and cafes. Wellington also has a strong yachting fraternity. The city has long been recognised as the cultural and arts capital of New Zealand. It is home to the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the Royal New Zealand Ballet, opera companies, theatre and a large number of art galleries, including the National Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The cosmopolitan nature of Wellington is reflected in the 350 restaurants and cafes serving innovative New Zealand and ethnic cuisine. North of Wellington is the Kapiti Coast whose main attractions are the world-class Southward Car Museum, the Lindale Agricultural Centre and the superb Maori craftsmanship of the Rangiatea Church at Otaki. Further inland is the lively university and agricultural city of Palmerston North situated in the Manawatu region.
