Capital city. Windy City. City of the Arts. Wellington wears many hats and does it well. From a vibrant café and arts culture to seat of government, there is much to see and do in Wellington. Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, sitting on the waterfront, is a must see. As is Cuba Street, with its collection of eclectic shops, galleries, eateries.
With its cable car, hilly topography and susceptibility to earthquakes, Wellington is seen by many as the San Francisco of the South Pacific.
