Hotels near Wellington Airport - WLG, Wellington

Recommend getting a snapper card for ease of travel. Initially $10 but providers cheaper fares on public transport. Utilise the metlink app to find nearest bus stop, timetables, trip planning etc. Very useful. Makes getting out of the city to visit much easier. Live tracking. Highly recommend these 2 essentials. I would recommend a behind the scenes walking tour of the Opera House and St James Theatre - my highlight on this trip. Wellington is a easy walking city. Catch the bus to Mt Victoria for the stunning views then walk down to Oriental Bay, the zoo or other walking trails. There are plenty of fine eating places. Most have menus on the windows. There are also food trucks and indoor food markets. It is very vibrant. The water front on a clear sunny place is the tops. Cant say no to the Cable car and a walk through the botanical gardens. This city offers a lot for solo travellers with a wide range of activities that be free.

I was there for WOW and it didn't disappoint.Loved the hop on hop off van The drivers were very informative.Also the bus and train service is excellent and a bonus that we could use our gold cards.

Love Wellington, so much to do and see and you can walk just about everywhere plus excellent transport system. Caught train and buses and always on time. So many excellent cafes and restaurants. Ate out a lot and always plenty to choose from, too many at times! Great shopping, easy to access plus catch a bus or train to other shopping malls. Went swimming at 2 different pools plus trips to beaches etc. Choc Fest on plus went to WOW, world of wearable art.

The shopping was awesome. Finding a nice cafe for lunch was hard to find Unfortunately the waterfront wasnt as fun to walk around as at previous visits...surprising considering WOW was on. Lots of interesting places to visit..allwithin easy walking distance. I waa disappointed with Cuba St. It used to have a great vibe but now dismal and seedy without the cool shops i use to visit..or decent cafes.

Our visit to WOW was the absolute high light. Superlatives are the only way to express our enjoyment. Haka house was excellent and most convenient location.Enjoyed very much .Te Papa is a must .Next time we will stay longer in Wellington.

Loads to do in Wellington. We travelled primarily for the WoW experience and it was as fab as we expected Zealandia is an under rated experience and should be better advertised. it should be added to your list below All our food experiences were different, 10mins walking accessibility and great choices and enjoyable Uber drivers provided great service and using the electronic scooters around town and the Waterfront was good fun and recommended We were on a limited timeline so visited and travelled around as much as we could
