Travelers in the know will agree that Wellington, the capital of New Zealand is one Pacific city not to be missed. It offers an excellent atmosphere, very relaxed and laid back, as well as wide range of attractions for both the nature lovers and urban clubbers. If you are planning a visit here, be sure to check out these excellent tips for your next visit.
Take the cable car to the Royal Botanic Gardens to enjoy a mesmerizing view. The old cable car is a relic that’s been preserved especially for the tourists, so it’s actually a tad cheesy. But its a great way to laze and enjoy your way towards the Royal Botanic Gardens, where you’ll be rewarded with a mesmerizing view over the city. Not far to the west from the Royal Botanic Gardens is Kellburn Village, Wellington’s most European neighborhood. This is a great place to relax over coffee, enjoy a slow meal or go for a leisurely stroll. The main street is lined with cosy cafes, antique shops and tasty bakeries.
Another point of interest is the Karori Sanctuary, where you’ll get to experience a time machine of sort. The Karori Sanctuary is dedicated to restoring a corner of New Zealand as closely as possible to the way it was the day before humans arrived, and you’ll have to agree that they’ve been doing their job pretty well. It’s an extremely peaceful and rural area, even though its located near the city. You can also visit the Te Papa, Wellington’s national museum. They’ve got an excellent variety of exhibits that it’s hard to really pin down what the museum is all about, but a visit there is always worth it. Surprise yourself with whatever random exhibits are on offer!
