Wellington & Districts

Te Papa Tongarewa

No visit to Wellington is complete without a visit to the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa – this innovative, world-leading museum is bound to enthral even the most museum-weary visitor.

Kapiti Island

The sanctuary of Kapiti Island is accessible only with a special permit, but it offers an incredible array of rare native birds.

Arguably New Zealand’s cultural capital, Wellington is home to a number of great galleries and museums, as well as the NZ Symphony Orchestra, Royal NZ Ballet, National Opera and three professional theatres.

Wellington waterfront

Wellington’s waterfront is a beautifully landscaped city hub offering harbour views and a great line-up of sights and activities. It’s perfect for walking, rollerblading and cycling.

Parliament Buildings

Home to New Zealand’s Parliament since 1865, Parliament Buildings include the iconic 1970s Beehive, the beautiful neo-classical Parliament House and the Parliamentary Library.
