Wellington Airport is conveniently located a short 20-minute drive from the city centre. Pick up your rental car and prepare to be wowed by Wellington, a small city with an enviable creative and culinary scene, surrounded by nature and some of the world’s best vineyards.
Wellington’s streets are vibrant and filled with museums, galleries and world-class restaurants. Take time and enjoy the city’s vibe in the bohemian Cuba Quarter before exploring the rest of the city and its stunning waterfront.
We recommend driving up to the summit of Mount Victoria where you’ll find panoramic views of the city. If you drive further outside the city, you’ll find nature reserves filled with native bird life as well as award-winning wineries.
After a day spent exploring the outskirts of Wellington, you’ll find plenty of places back in the city where you can treat yourself to a delicious meal.
Wellingtonians love casual dining. And with a whole host of great restaurants, night markets and food trucks on offer, there’s something to suit every taste and budget.
