Wellington: Set on the shores of the lower North Island, Wellington was chosen as the capital of New Zealand due to its central location. Bordered by the Rimutaka Range to the east, the Tararuas to the north and Cook Strait to the south and west, Wellington is a cosy city offering visitors an abundance of activities to enjoy. For diversity, entertainment and just sheer fun, Wellington is one place where you will never be bored. Take a trip through the national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, which has hundreds of permanent exhibits, as well as visiting exhibitions. Visit Parliament buildings, and the debating chamber when it is in session - hear politicians discuss issues of the day. Art galleries, golf courses, historic buildings, race courses, live theatre, sporting venues, entertainment complexes, opera, botanic gardens, a wildlife sanctuary, a zoo, shopping centres, designer shops and cultural shows can all be found in this compact, busy metropolis. If you are feeling energetic, take a walk up Mt Victoria. It offers excellent views of the city, Wellington harbour and Cook Strait, which separates the North Island from the South Island. On clear days you can see the South Island.
There is a large array of restaurants, cafes, pubs, clubs and fast food outlets - from top quality international cuisine, through to cheap ethnic food or fish and chips on the beach.
