Surrounded by nature and fuelled by creative energy, Wellington is a compact city with a powerful mix of culture, history, nature and cuisine. Fuel your visit with strong coffee and world-class craft beer – Wellingtonians are masters of casual dining, with plenty of great restaurants, night markets and food trucks. Only a short three hour flight from the east coast of Australia and with an airport just a 15 minute scenic drive from the city centre, Wellington is an ideal short break destination, as well as a must visit as part of a longer New Zealand itinerary.
