things to do
Get the tram up to the Viewpoint - Jump on the wee tram up the hill and look over Wellington. Make some friends and get a photo with them (see picture)! Well that’s what i did, totally optional 😂. Then grab a bite to eat and stroll through the botanic gardens down to the city.
Rooftop bar in city centre - Dirty little secret is a great bar on a rooftop in the centre with plenty going on and a cracking atmosphere. Go! Enjoy! Drink! Stagger home! (see picture at bottom)
The Fringe Bar - Unfortunately I didn’t get loads of time to look around the sights of Wellington, but if you love karaoke and mad entertainment nights then this could be the place for you!
Oh and get a picture with some Lord of the Rings characters at Wellington airport. (See picture at bottom) Yip that is not photo shopped, it’s real.
food
Cuba Street - Head to this fun, colourful street for every type of food anytime of the day. Plenty bars and coffee shops too, one of Wellington’s trendiest streets.
The Genghis Khan restaurant - A brilliant and unique dining experience. Grab a bowl and throw in all the ingredients you like, then hand it to the chef (see the picture) who cooks it in front of you and hands you back your freshly made bowl of delightful, fresh grub! Then go stuff your face!
