Compact,
cosmopolitan, captivating, ‘coolest little capital’ Wellington celebrates 150
years of being New Zealand’s capital city. Wellington is always a great
place to visit so why not make a point of being part of history and join the celebration
party on July 25th in the company of Dave Dobyn and the Orpheus Choir of
Wellington and 3D sound and light show.
The party
continues through the weekend (25-27th July) and into Monday with Wellington's
doors to more than 30 national institutions open free of charge, revealing
some of the most significant collections and important treasures housed in this
city. A free hop-on, hop-off bus service, sponsored by Go Wellington, will take
visitors around the Open House circuit. This is your chance to have a look
inside Government House and all those other places you have had a secret desire
to see.
For the coffee
lovers, Wellington is considered birthplace of the ‘flat white’ so where better
than award winning Mojo to discover the ‘art of cupping.’ A growing craft beer
scene keeps Wellington on the move forward whilst Te Papa Museum with its roots
in our heritage provides the background from which New Zealand looks to the
future.
Meet a winter
challenge and cycle the bays!! The two to three hours ‘Around the Bays’ takes
you through Wellington’s vibrant refurbished waterfront areas. Rest and shelter
in the many cake and coffee stops en route.
All of this AND
Hobbits. Visit Weta Cave; the shop front
of Weta Workshops or take a tour of Lord of the Rings sites.
Looking ahead
there is the Food Festival, Visa Wellington on a Plate, in August with the Lux
Light Festival to enjoy as well as the World of Wearable Arts in September.
