What to do there
Wellington is an exciting and vibrant city that is compact and interesting. It is situated between a dramatic harbour and bush-clad hills. Great views can be found at the top of Mount Victoria, or by catching the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens. A different side of Wellington can be found along the western Kapiti Coast. The route hugs the rugged coastline, providing spectacular views. Off the coast is the world-renowned bird sanctuary, Kapiti Island. The relaxed lifestyle has given this area a wonderful country life; there are olive groves, feature gardens and unique bed and breakfasts. Just north of Wellington city is the Hutt Valley, an area that offers a multitude of outdoor and adventure experiences, including bush and coastal walks, 4WD tours, golf, mountain biking and fishing. More than most cities, life in Wellington is dominated by its central business district (CBD). Approximately 62,000 people work in the CBD, only 4,000 fewer than work in Auckland's CBD, despite that city having three times Wellington's population. Wellington's cultural and nightlife venues are concentrated on Courtenay Place in the southern part of the CBD, making the inner city suburb of Te Aro the largest entertainment destination in New Zealand. Arts and theatre plus live music are alive and well here!
