Wellington

Wellington, New Zealand
Once thought of as a stuffy, old-fashioned backwater town, in recent years Wellington has transformed itself into the most vibrant, sophisticated city in the country. In fact, it has become New Zealand's destination of choice for weekend entertainment, culture and fun. Part of the attraction is that there is so much to do in one concentrated area. Theaters, shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs are all within easy walking distance. And speaking of dining, it's been said that, per capita the number of Wellington restaurants actually rivals New York City. Add to all that, its spectacular harbor-front location, and it's easy to see why a visit to this lovely port town should be at the top of your must-visit list.
