Scenic Highpoints
Mount Victoria, which overlooks Oriental Bay, is a top spot for appreciating the beauty of Wellington Harbour. Or your group can catch the historic cable car up to Kelburn - it’s a great ride and the city scenery is superb. | |

Museums
Te Papa, the National Museum of New Zealand, is the big ‘don’t miss’ museum on Wellington’s waterfront. The Museum of Wellington is another place to soak up some knowledge. | |
|
Urban Culture
Excellent shopping, dining and late night entertainment can be found in abundance, and it’s all just a stroll away from the major city hotels. Great coffee is another Wellington plus - the city has several roasting companies. |

TESTIMONIAL: Kimberlee Senior, Australian Drug Foundation Events Project Officer, September 2003 |
 | | "Wellington is the perfect place to have a conference of our size. We all commented that the city was a great size, wasn't too small, yet wasn't too big. There was plenty for everyone to do, yet things were so close, you didn't need." |
