Places to visit in Wellington

Serious sightseers should explore the Botanic Gardens and St Paul's Cathedral. After more things to see in this buzzing city? The Wellington Zoo and Civic Square should keep you occupied.

For a trip that’s out of this world, take the whole family to Carter Observatory. Learn about the mystery and wonder of the universe, from the moon and the stars to black holes and obscure planets. Want some more options? When was it built and what events went on there? Strive to find the answers to these questions when you visit Old St Paul's, a building of historic importance. But that's not all there is. Mount Victoria Lookout gives visitors magnificent vistas as well as some impressive photo opportunities.
