Civic Square includes the Wellington Festival and Convention Centre, the City Gallery, the Wellington Public Library, Capital Discovery Place (a children’s science and technology museum), three excellent cafes and modern council buildings. Walking around the waterfront and through the central streets is the best way to truly discover the essence of Wellington. You can also take bus tours around the main highlights of the region, or alternatively it is easy to get around with a car and a map. Cafe culture and nightlife is thriving, shopping is superb and for scenic beauty alone it would be hard to find a harbour anywhere in the world as beautiful as Wellington on a sunny day.
