Wellington
At the southern tip of the North Island lies the capital of New Zealand, Wellington. The city's nickname is 'windy city' because it usually experiences a good breeze, but that does not bother the Wellingtonians; they are known for their active lifestyles and spend a lot of time outdoors. And you can see this, as the city buzzes with gezelligheid, as well as a rich array of art and culture. From this city, you can take a ferry across a stunning water landscape through Cook Strait to the South Island. Alternatively, you can fly to many different places on the South Island or enjoy a helicopter transfer to admire the water scenery from above.
The city features some unique sights. You can visit the ‘Beehive,’ a distinctive building that is part of the parliamentary complex. One of the highlights is the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum, New Zealand’s national museum. This interactive museum teaches you all about the landscape, nature, history, and inhabitants of New Zealand. The city is built against a hill, and you can take the historic cable car to the top, where you can walk through the charming Kelburn district or visit the Botanical Gardens. Or explore Zealandia, a vast protected nature reserve.
