What to do while in Wellington
Situated on New Zealand’s North Island, Wellington is a modern town with lots to do and see. Begin by getting your bearings at the top of Mount Victoria, a lookout with 360-degree views over the city, its harbour and the surrounding hills. Hannah’s Laneway is the perfect place to stop for a bite to eat before heading out to discover the sights and sounds of bustling Cuba Street. Venture a little further with your Wellington car hire and visit the Zealandia ecosanctuary for a dose of nature.
