This compact pictorial takes a tour of New Zealand's vibrant capital. Seat of national government, centre of culture and the arts, picture-perfect harbour city, Wellington nestles among its hillside suburbs with its colourful face to the cold Cook Strait. A visit to the windy city is bracing in all senses of the word, whether you come to ride the cable car from Lambton Quay to Kelburn, tour the exhibits at Te Papa Tongarewa/ Museum of New Zealand take in the Wearable Arts awards, catch the buzz around the Beehive or the waterfront, or just drink in the unique atmosphere.
