Top Things to Do in Wellington

1. Explore the Waterfront

Start your day with a stroll or bike ride along the Wellington Waterfront. Stop for coffee at a harbourside café or check out the weekend markets and street performers.

2. Visit Te Papa Museum

Home to cutting-edge exhibits and stunning Māori and Pacific collections, Te Papa Tongarewa is one of the best free museums in the world.

3. Ride the Iconic Cable Car

Take the Wellington Cable Car from Lambton Quay up to the Botanic Gardens for sweeping views of the city and harbour.

4. Discover Weta Workshop

Film lovers shouldn’t miss the Weta Workshop Tour in Miramar, the home of movie magic behind The Lord of the Rings and Avatar.

5. Day Trips Around Wellington

With an Imoova $1/day vehicle, you can head beyond the city to explore:
