Pros: it's picturesque
Cons: the winter wind... brrrr
I love going to Wellington, I find it an appealing city to be in. Unlike Auckland, which sprawls endlessly mile after mile, Wellington is an extremely compact city and the central city district is all in the one small area. This makes it easy to get ...

Pros: Plenty To Offer Tourists And Residents
Cons: Windy Winters

Pros: Art life, cafes, restaurants
Cons: Windy, unpredictable weather

Pros: Vibrant cosmopolitan city with good food, nightlife and attractions; beautiful harbour
Cons: Windy and sometimes cold and damp

Pros: A uniquely small cosmopolitan city with everything you want on offer.
Cons: Low Sunshine hours!
I love Wellington having visited and being apart of this city all my life, I have seen it mature and grow into a small city with a large heart!. Wellington residents are very proud of their city and their pride is clear to see just by the quality of...

Pros: Pretty, stuck in a time warp
Cons: lousy weather
Hi all

It is the sort of city that you do as a stopover as you travel from the North Island to the South Island.
More recently the excellent Te Papa...
