and cultural attractions.
To understand more about the history of the city, visit the Museum of Wellington
City & Sea on Queen’s Wharf.

Opera House, the Wellington City Art Gallery, the Downstage Theatre and the
Wellington Cable Car Museum.
Architecturally flamboyant, the Beehive, the Parliament building, is a New Zealand

the Lady Norwood Rose Garden.
The Civic Square, in the heart of the city, is a great place where to have a
walk for shopping.
