Wellington aerial view

Wellington, New Zealand

Wellington, New Zealand's compact harbourside capital, folds a world-class coffee and craft-beer scene, the national museum Te Papa and a thriving film and performing-arts culture into a walkable waterfront core ringed by green hills. For luxury travellers it delivers design-forward hotels, some of the country's most inventive restaurants and easy access to Wairarapa wine country and the Marlborough Sounds ferry.
