About the City

Wellington is a city of many faces. Gigantic concrete buildings and glass skyscrapers have been erected next to the original wooden buildings and everything is surrounded by green areas. There are beautiful buildings from the Victorian era, e.g.Victoria University and the cathedral church of Saint Paul. Wellington is a city of art and culture. The New Zealand Te Papa Museum is a vast modern complex and the expositions are dedicated to the history of the country, volcanic activity and fauna and flora. Wellington has the second biggest wooden construction in the world – the Old Government Building. One of the attractions of the city is the Wellington Cable Car going from the valley to Mount Victoria, a hill above the city. There is a splendid view from the funicular as well as from the top of the hill. The botanical and zoological gardens are also highly interesting.
