The capital of New Zealand (the world's most southern capital), located at the southern tip of the North Island, enjoys a beautiful natural setting, nestled as it is between a beautiful harbour and rolling green hills.
The Polynesian explorer Kupe is credited with the initial discovery of Wellington Harbour, which he named Te Whanganui a Tara (the Great Harbour of Tara) after his son. From Maori tradition, it is estimated he arrived with his followers around the 10th century and people have lived here since Kupe's discovery.
This dynamic city is not only the political capital of the country, but also (as most Wellingtonians will proudly tell you) its arts and culture capital, and here you will discover the countrys heritage, which is present everywhere, from the many historic buildings downtown to the Parliament Buildings themselves to Te Papa, the national museum, one of the jewels in New Zealands crown and one that dominates the citys skyline on the waterfront.
Add to this good shopping, plenty of cafes and restaurants (Wellington has established an excellent reputation as the gourmet capital of the country), plenty of festivals and events throughout the year, and you have a city thats a destination in its own right.
Small in size, but bursting with attractions, Wellington is an ideal destination any time of year. The city has a reputation for being windy (it is after all the only capital in the Roaring Forties latitudes), but it enjoys more than 2,035 hours of sunshine per year. The warmest months are in summer (January to March).

- Wellington Opera House
Opened on Easter Saturday 1914, and originally known as the Grand Opera House, Wellington's Opera House was designed by Melbourne architect William Pitt and supervised by architect Albert Liddy. - Te Papa Museum
Te Papa is one of the few museums in the world that can claim to have been built from scratch in the last decade. Opened in 1998, New Zealand's National Museum is widely regarded as one of the finest in the world. - Wellington Zoo
Wellington Zoo is home to around 350 exotic and unusual animals including New Zealand's very own prehistoric reptile, the Tuatara, which in Maori means "spiny-backed". It's a must if travelling to the city with kids. - St James Theatre
Built in 1912, His Majesty's Theatre (as it was then called) was the largest vaudeville theatre and cinema in Australasia, ornate and sumptuous. Now the Westpac St James Theatre, it has been recognised by New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category 1 building of outstanding cultural and historical significance.
