Day 2: Get Cultured
New Zealand’s cultural capital offers everything from high drama to low-down funk.
A strong vein of film production, theatre, visual and performance art runs through Wellington. Immerse yourself in the city’s many boutique art galleries and design stores.
A must do while in Wellington is a visit to the innovative and interactive national museum, Te Papa.
TIP: Check out Te Papa’s national art collection and ever changing world class exhibitions.
Wander along Wellington’s stunning waterfront and read poems cast in stone on the Wellington Writers Walk.
Enjoy a quick bite to eat at a quirky Cuba Street café or a decadent three course lunch at one of the city’s finest establishments. The options are endless.
Catch a live performance at one of the city’s theatres. Afterwards, experience the vibrant nightlife along Cuba Street and Courtenay Place.
TIP: Go where the locals go, try a cocktail at Matterhorn, Motel, Sandwiches or Good Luck Bar. Matterhorn’s signature drink, Amalfi Martini, is not to be missed.
