Wellington Unanchor Travel Guide - The Best of Wellington: 3 Day Itinerary

Many travellers to New Zealand arrive in Wellington and then head straight down to the South Island to ski and take part in other adventure sports. But if you're looking for something a bit different from the usual Kiwi travel experience, or if you're looking at supplementing your adrenalin-filled holiday with some downtime in a city, then Wellington is for you. Wellington, New Zealand's capital city is known for its quirky art culture, its boutique shopping, its friendly locals, and its historical heart, and this three day itinerary selects the best of what's on offer.
