Wellington CBD

Wellington CBD blends business buzz with cultural treasures along a scenic harbor. Te Papa museum showcases New Zealand's heritage while the iconic Cable Car offers panoramic city views. Stroll the waterfront promenade to discover public art, watch boats bobbing in the harbor, or explore Cuba Street's colorful shops and cafes. Diverse dining options range from food trucks to upscale restaurants serving fresh seafood and local lamb. Most attractions sit within walking distance, and excellent public transport connects you to surrounding neighborhoods. Boutique hotels and business accommodations provide comfortable bases for exploring this compact, vibrant district.

Te Papa

The impressive Te Papa museum showcases New Zealand's diverse cultural heritage through interactive exhibitions that'll keep you fascinated for hours. The neighborhood serves up everything from quick $15 bites to fancy dining experiences in bustling laneways. You'll find boutique hotels and backpacker hostels within walking distance of major attractions. Getting around is a breeze with frequent buses and Wellington's famously walkable streets.

Thorndon

Thorndon charms visitors with its blend of colonial history and political significance in Wellington. The neighborhood showcases well-preserved Victorian villas alongside the iconic copper-domed Beehive parliament building. History buffs will love exploring Old St Paul's Church with its timber Gothic architecture and Katherine Mansfield House, birthplace of New Zealand's renowned author. Cozy cafes in converted heritage buildings serve modern Kiwi cuisine, perfect for refueling after walks along tree-canopied streets.

Oriental Bay

Oriental Bay delivers prime Wellington waterfront living with a golden sand beach right at your doorstep. Joggers, cyclists, and families fill the curved promenade while sailboats dot the sparkling harbor. When you're not swimming at the beach, take in stunning views of the Wellington skyline or grab brunch at a waterside café. Upscale restaurants serve fresh seafood and New Zealand cuisine along the bay. Modern apartment towers and boutique hotels offer premium harbor-facing accommodations, though budget options are limited. The neighborhood connects easily to downtown via frequent buses, but most visitors prefer the scenic 10-minute walk along the waterfront.

Great place to enjoy your morning coffee.

Mount Victoria

Perched on a lush hillside, Mount Victoria gives you front-row seats to Wellington's best harbor panoramas. The lookout crowns the neighborhood with jaw-dropping views worth every step of the climb. Victorian and Edwardian wooden homes in cheerful heritage colors line the winding streets. Walking trails through the Town Belt green space offer peaceful escapes just minutes from downtown buzz. Hungry explorers will need to head to nearby Courtenay Place for serious dining options. Accommodation ranges from charming boutique B&Bs to vacation rentals in character villas. Frequent buses connect to the city center in minutes, though the steep terrain rewards walkers with unexpected harbor glimpses between the historic homes.
