WELLINGTON - NEW ZEALAND'S CAPITAL CITY

Experience.png

Known as "Windy Wellington" due to its strong and consistent winds, Wellington sits at the southern tip of New Zealand's North Island. The city’s gusty reputation stems from its location between the Cook Strait and mountainous terrain, making it one of the windiest cities in the world. Despite the breezes, Wellington offers a lively arts scene, scenic harbor tours, and access to beautiful natural reserves, making it a must-visit destination for travellers.
