Wellington is the capital of New Zealand (and not the larger neighbor to the north, Auckland). Travelers agree, this town in the Pacific region should not be missed. With a combination of cosmopolitan and relaxed atmosphere, easy to like Wellington. Here are some tips for your trip there.
The tram ride to the Royal Botanic Gardens
Tram or cable car, is one of the city's heritage is still alive due to support the tourism industry. Thus, only the tourists who climb it, but I like to hear the clink and clank all the way tram to the summit at the Royal Botanic Gardens. From up there, you can see the charming view of Wellington. Royal Botanic Gardens are also widespread, there are some pretty old buildings in it, and they really wholeheartedly arranged flowers in the garden.
New Zealand had a lot of natural beauty, Milford Sound is one of the most famous - at Unearthing Asia.
Enjoying Coffee in Kelburn
In the western part of the Royal Botanic Gardens, there Kelburn Village, the region's most 'European' in Wellington. Its main street is full of cozy cafes, shops in character, antiques dealer, and unique bakery. This is the best place to linger over coffee or enjoy a meal. Make sure you also explore The Glen (liaison Kelburn and the Royal Gardens) to see the old Pohutakawa trees near the church of Saint Michael.
New Zealand Dunedin is a city in another strong European flavor, especially Scotland - in Unearthing Asia.
Back to the Past at the Karori Sanctuary Trust
You will not find it still be in Wellington when entering the site http://www.sanctuary.org.nz/ Karori Sanctuary. Karori Sanctuary Foundation, on its website pages, stating that, "(they) Returns seautentik sepojok New Zealand might be like when there is no man." Many argue they have done the job well! Area was closed, there is a major island in the middle; rare plants and animals were protected in it. Even if you do a tour group there, the place still feels very peaceful with a heavy rural atmosphere, despite being in the city.
Entertainment at Te Papa
Is the national museum Te Papa Wellington with a very broad spectrum of exhibits, so the hard-called one by one. On any given day, you can learn about the geological forces that formed the island, or you can learn the traditional language of New Zealand's first inhabitants, exploring thrift stores, and about art. If you're traveling with kids, then you should stop by here.
Children will also love exploring the Thermal Wonderland Wai-o-Tapu in Rotoroa - in Unearthing Asia.
Ferry ride to Matiu-Somes Island
A former island prison camp and quarantine zones may not be a choice of attractions, but Matiu-Somes in Wellington Harbour is worth a visit. You can ride the ferry from Queen's Wharf, but make sure first with the crew, to ask them to stop there. The island is the perfect place to stroll and explore, but you should know exactly what time the ferry will come to pick up - you certainly do not want to spend the night in this island, right?
Other places Panorama Viewing
I had mentioned about the view from Kelburn or tram, but there are few other places can be visited if you have time left:
Mount Victoria - maybe the point is very well known panoramic, offering 360-degree perspective. About an hour walk from town, but you can also ride the bus.
Wrights Hill - you can see the beautiful scenery as well as exploring tunnel War II. Check out their site page to find out the days / hours of work, because this place is not open at all times.
Massey Memorial - This uniquely-shaped monument is a sight in itself, but the landscape at Days Bay is also quite beautiful.
Brooklyn Windmill - I love the view from up here. But, for you know, windmills in New Zealand is not the same as in the Netherlands, this is a wind turbine.
