2025 Wellington Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

It our second time to Wellington, New Zealand. Aside from city walk, we also visited Scorching Bay and found it to be a peaceful escape from the city’s buzz. This serene beach, with golden sands and crystal-clear waters, is perfect for a leisurely walk or a quiet afternoon with a book 📖 The nearby café ☕️ served some of the best coffee we’ve had, and the laid-back vibe made it a hidden gem. I’d recommend going early in the morning to catch the sunrise ☀️ 📍Scorching Bay Beach, Karaka Bay Road, Miramar, Wellington 6022 We explored the charming Holloway Road Walkway, tucked away in the Aro Valley. The trail leads through lush greenery, showcasing Wellington’s natural beauty without the crowds. Along the way, we stumbled upon remnants of an old quarry and native birdlife, which felt like stepping back in time. I’d recommend this for anyone who loves tranquil hikes 🏔️ 📍 Holloway Road Walkway, Aro Valley, Wellington 6021 We also visited Wrights Hill Fortress, a lesser-known historical site. This World War II-era structure is fascinating, with underground tunnels and stories of Wellington’s military past. Exploring the fortifications gave us a unique perspective on the city’s history. I’d recommend checking their schedule for guided tours to get the most out of the visit. 📍 Wrights Hill Fortress, Wrights Hill Road, Karori, Wellington 6012 We also explored Owhiro Bay Quarry, a hidden coastal area perfect for those seeking rugged landscapes. The dramatic cliffs and crashing waves make it a photographer’s dream 📸 Nearby, we found a secluded spot to sit and take in the scenery. I’d recommend packing a picnic and spending a few hours here. 📍 Owhiro Bay Quarry, Owhiro Bay Parade, Wellington 6023 These hidden gems made our second visit to Wellington feel like an entirely new adventure. I hope this itinerary gives you fresh ideas for your trip! Definitely explore the city then only spend times in the hidden 💎 #newzealandtrip #vacation #trip

The Oatery is hands down the best cafe in all of Wellington. The food is absolutely immaculate, healthy, consistent and affordable. The staff are incredibly calm and friendly, and the relaxing atmosphere makes for a pleasant eating experience. If you are in Wellington, you must visit The Oatery. Their porridge and granola bowls are addictive. I am yet to try other menu items such as their coffee, toast, soups and salads, however I am certain that they are scrumptious. #newzealandtrip #couplestrip #travel

🚏Devonport + Mount Victoria In Auckland CBD, in addition to taking the bus and train, you can also take a ferry for an outing! 📍Downtown Terminal Google this landmark, the boat entrance is right next to it! 🕒Ferry runs every half hour (one way trip takes about ten minutes) 🎫I forgot whether the ticket price was 3 or 4 yuan, I only know that it would be cheaper to use AT card because I used AT card! Although it is only a short ten-minute flight But there is also a canteen on the ship where you can buy coffee, snacks and drinks. There are indoor and outdoor seats. If the weather is good, it is recommended to sit outdoors. You can enjoy the view of CBD from different angles It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Devonport to Mount Victoria. You will pass by many restaurants and Gelato shops on the way! It takes about 20 minutes to reach the top of Victoria Mountain. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see many red mushroom heads. It's a bit like coming to the world of Super Mario 😆 #foodie #good family destinations #localtravel #familytravel #newzealand

There are great little shops upstairs of the Wellington airport for you to choose from clothes to suitcases to food, even a little convenience store!! As I live in the Pacific, I was so excited about the many vending machines that have such a nice range of snacks and drinks. #wellington #airport

Wellington airport was overWELLmington! 😂 get it? This was my first time ever to travel to Wellington, all other previous trips to Nz was to Auckland only so finally seeing a different of NZ was a fresh experience. Not as big as Akl airport but it’s still big compared to my home airport (Fiji) and I couldnt help but admire all the goodies they had at the airport! #travel #airport #wellington #nz

If you're a huge fan of lord of the rings, you would recognize this place as the setting for the "Paths of the dead" scene in Return of the King! This is a MUST VISIT for anyone travelling to the North Island of New Zealand! The rock formation is just out of the world and unreal, looking like a place I've only seen in movies. A truly spectacular ancient rock formation, perfect for photographers to photograph. The walking trails are also properly maintained, allowing visitors to walk the route with ease. Getting here: The nearest city is Martinborough. From the nearest carpark, allow at least 2 hours to return, and remember to take lots of water with you! Its quite a simple hike to reach the main vantage point of the Pinnacle but it's always good to be well prepared! #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #nationalpark #scenicspotguide

Cape Palliser is a charming lighthouse located in Wairarapa, on the North Island of New Zealand. Interestingly, it is also the southernmost point of the North Island. Make a 253 steps climb to reach the lighthouse and you will be generously rewarded with the magnificent views of the blue seas and the rugged coastline from the top. If you are there during the evening, I recommend you stay till sunset as you will be able to catch a clear unobstructed view of the sun setting beyond the glistening blue seas. You can plan a day trip there from Wellington as it is only about an hour plus drive away from Wellington. #momentssg #newzealand #scenicspotguide

The section of Wellington street in central ( or old town central as they call it now) recently earned the nickname of bullstarp mile. Here you'll find long time and family run local joints that have received nods in the red book because , well, the food is outstanding and it's cheap. Makn's noodle is a personal favorite. The small bowls of wonbton noodle soup amust eat will only set you back a few usd. Go early to avoid the line.

joined a 1/2 day tour. its very interesting even though i have not watched the movie before. But a pity that i could not fully enjoy it as im travelling with a toddler. thus my hub finished the tour alone while i have to leave the room as my 2yr old son is a bit too active to participate. recommend not to bring young kids . visited some places thats we could have drove ourselves thus a bit time wasting. prefer to have the whole tour covering the making of movies and exploring lord of the ring scenes. nevertheless, it was still a good experience. This is an absolute trip everyone should attend. The tour guy, Grant, was very friendly and 100% full of knowlegge of the scenes. We were surprised about how Weta workshop has been working and what they had achieved in film products and computer special effects. We do recommend people to join this trip. #summervacation

I always love a trip on a cable car and the Wellington funicular was a great way to get up to the Gardens. It's only a short, five minute journey and is very reasonably priced. The views from the top are stunning so it's well worth the trip. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

#2月好去处2025 Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, is the second largest city. After looking at the tourist map, you can walk to all the attractions. It is recommended to buy a one-way ticket for the cable car and go downhill from the botanical garden on the return trip, which can save 6 New Zealand dollars. The bus in Wellington is also very convenient, but you have to buy its transportation card and cannot use Google Pay or Apple pay. If you are traveling for multiple days, you can try to buy it. Basically, my itinerary is enough for half a day and 6 hours to play and have fun. This is how you can play in all cities in New Zealand! As for the weather, just bring an umbrella and wear a light jacket. #wellington
