Wellington

Welcome to Wellington. Not only capital city to New Zealand but interestingly Wellington enjoys the title of the worlds’ most Southern capital city. Situated near the North Island’s southernmost point, this compact city holds the key to a well-earned city break.  Counting a waterfront promenade, working harbour, sandy beaches and some wonderfully colourful timber houses as part of its attraction, Wellington truly gives you plenty of reasons to visit and what better way to explore a city than by renting your very own discounted rental vehicle right here at globalCARS.

Named after the first Duke of Wellington, the location was made the capital city of New Zealand in 1865 and has since grown from strength to strength in terms of tourism.  As far as capital cities go, Wellington has a rather modest approximate population of 204,000 however it is still undeniably a bustling city nonetheless. Boasting some incredible special effects houses and studios, the city has also become a strong contender in the worldwide film and movie industry. Most notable movies produced here would be The Lord of the Rings trilogy and more recently Avatar.

As a bustling city, you may also wish to take your car out to the extraordinarily scenic and serene countryside found on Wellington’s doorstep or relax at Oriental Bay Beach, close to the town centre.

Usually a moderate temperature, Wellington is pleasant to visit year round although it has gained the name “Windy Wellington” due to some strong Winter-winds thanks to the Cook Strait on which is lies.  You will find the wettest months to be June and July, but with an average of 2000 sunshine hours (169 days) per year you’re sure to enjoy an agreeable temperature at some point.

Like the majority of cities worldwide, you will never be short of an activity or two. Plenty of indoor museums, cafes, bars, restaurants and nightclubs can be found or you may wish to soak up some fresh air with some of the outdoor action which comes in the form of mountain biking, kayaking, quadbiking or 4 wheel driving. 

Favourite attractions of locals and tourists alike, some family friendly day trips include the Wellington Zoo and Cable Car experience. Starting at Lambton Quay the main shopping street the cable car takes you up to Kelburn, a suburb up in the hills with unique and attractive views of the city.

With ample things to do and see, you will never be too far from your next adventure - made possible by globalCARS.com.au
