Description
Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara or Poneke in Māori) is the capital of New Zealand, the country's second largest urban area and the most populous national capital in Oceania. It is in the Wellington region at the southern tip of the North Island, near the geographical centre of the country. Like many cities, Wellington's urban area extends well beyond the boundaries of a single local authority. Greater Wellington or the Wellington Region means the entire urban area, plus the rural parts of the cities and the Kapiti Coast, and across the Rimutaka Range to the Wairarapa.

The Mutton Birds - Wellington:

I wish I was in Wellington,
The weather's not so good.
The wind it cuts right through you
And it rains more than it should.
But I'd be there tomorrow,
If I only could.
Oh, I wish I was in Wellington.

I wish I was in Wellington,
The bureaucracy.
The suits and the briefcases
Along Lambton Quay.
The Harbour City Capital,
The lights beside the sea
Oh, I wish I was in Wellington!

During The Lord of the Rings Return of the King celebrations it was THE place to be! Wellington is like Melbourne- a mix of arts and culture but without the size! Definately a pedestrian city.

Wellington is a positive and vibrant City with so much life. It's city that embraces the Arts more than most cities around NZ. Central city life for pubbing, clubbing and restaurants is alive and happening

If you are thinking of doing a road trip in Wellington, check out this youtube video. It pretty much highlights some of the things you can do there if you rent a cheap car.

I also found another good site to check out Wellington accommodation and Wellington hotels at, if you're headed that way. Wellington is - well, to me at least - easily the cultural capital of NZ, so there's plenty to keep you occupied here. And the wine buffs NEED to take a trip to the vineyards; Wairarapa and Marlborough, are within a short drive and provide some world class wine! Another thing you need to make sure you get to do is visit New Zealand's national museum Te Papa Tongarewa.
