Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, at the most southerly point of the North Island Island. Known affectionately as “Windy Wellington” due to its weather the city itself is very walkable. The Super Rugby team “The Hurricanes” is based in Wellington. Their home stadium is “The Cake Tin” due to its outward appearance.

Wellington is a windy but welcoming city. Winter is hard, but nothing will wake you up like a brisk stroll along the waterfront during the cooler months. Public transport is easy to navigate, but, despite the hills, walking is the best way to get around. This capital city has the best flat white coffees, but people will respect you more if you order a long black, no milk.

If you’re moving to Wellington, don’t bring an umbrella. Often referred to as “The Windy City”, New Zealand’s capital is subject to frequent storms and strong Southerly winds. However, don’t let the weather deter you – just wear a wind proof jacket and let the wonderful art, culture, and culinary scenes sweep you away instead. Wellington is not only the seat of New Zealand’s government, but also the country’s cultural capital and home of the national schools of drama and dance. The national museum is here, and the award-winning Weta workshop. Wellington is a hilly wonderland, so be prepared to meet and exceed your daily step target. A day out in Wellington can be done almost completely on foot, and the central city is laid out like a pedestrian’s dream. don’t let the windy weather and steep hills put you off – come to Wellington and see the many wonders of the Windy City.
