Weather of Arabia - Wellington, the capital of New Zealand , is not the largest city in the country. This honor goes to Auckland, the former capital, but it is a vibrant city full of lively scenes in cafes, many places, museums, art galleries and concert halls.

Wellington is located along the Cook Strait at the southwestern tip of the North Island. It is a steep town with activity concentrated around the commercial city centre, where a large percentage of Wellington's population works.

The commercial area is very crowded, as you can reach any part of it on foot, and it is divided into four main areas, Courtenay Carter, which is the center of nightlife and a hub for public buses, Cuba Carter, which includes a large number of restaurants, cafes and bars, and Lambton Carter, which is a popular street for shoppers, and finally the waterfront from Whitmore Street to Oriental Parade.

Wellington... Museums that tell the life of New Zealand

Wellington is home to a range of museums, the most famous of which is Te Papa Tongarewa (National Museum of New Zealand) on the waterfront and offers fascinating displays of New Zealand history, art and culture, and the Wellington City Museum and Museum, a maritime museum that has expanded its collection to include everything related to the city as well.

There is also the Colonial Cottage Museum in the suburb of Mont Quoc, and it was built in 1858 as the oldest building in the city, and today it has become a museum dedicated to colonial life, and because New Zealand is famous for cricket, you should visit the Cricket Museum to learn more about the country's history and love for this sport.

Beautiful gardens and amazing buildings

In order to complete the picture between history, culture and nature, the Wellington Cable Car and Cable Car Museum offer you a scenic trip from the Central Business District to the top of the Botanical Gardens, which sits on an area of 25 hectares of local plants, and for those traveling with the family to visit the wonderful zoo.

And if you want the most famous historical buildings, there is also the old St. Paul's Church, which was built in 1865, and the Wellington College of Law is the largest wooden building in the entire southern hemisphere, and it is definitely a place to visit, and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is a great place to listen to some amazing classical music .
