Wellington New Zealand Postcard マグネット

Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, is a compact, creative city nestled between rolling green hills and a sparkling harbor. Often called the “coolest little capital,” it thrives on a blend of arts, culture, and natural beauty. The walkable downtown is filled with indie boutiques, vibrant street art, cozy cafés, and some of the country’s best restaurants. Along the waterfront, wide promenades offer scenic walking and cycling paths with views of ferries, sailboats, and the city skyline. Museums like Te Papa, theatres, and film studios—most famously Weta Workshop in nearby Miramar—make Wellington a cultural powerhouse with a strong cinematic pulse. Beyond its urban charm, Wellington is surrounded by outstanding outdoor experiences. The Wellington Cable Car leads to panoramic views and the peaceful Botanic Garden, while nearby Zealandia is a groundbreaking eco-sanctuary where native birds and wildlife thrive. Windy coastal walks, such as those around the southern bays or up to the rugged Red Rocks, showcase the city’s dramatic landscape. Whether you’re exploring its food scene, enjoying craft beer, diving into its creative arts, or heading into nature just minutes away, Wellington offers a lively, scenic, and distinctly New Zealand blend of culture and adventure.
